in the next decade many of those Ukies moving to Russia will find a pretty Russian girl and will start a family
with her.. This is a huge opportunity for Russia to increase the Russian population on Russia.. At the same
time LUkashenko is trying to distance from the RUssian influence on this population.. by trying to paint their country
as something different than RUssian country ,when in reality Ukrainians and Belarussian are the same Russian people with another label.. It will be like american citizens in Virginia.. calling themselves... not americans but Virginians citizens.. and invent a dialect of ENGLISH to distance from USA. The only thing that divide Belarussia/Uktraine from being Russian states as it was in Russian Empire is simply Politics and western interference
in trying to contain,isolate and divide Russia.
And this is exactly the main reason US And its Globalist allies carefully design their foreign policy to contain Russia..
and sabotage its economy.. so it cannot influence former soviet republics..
Ways to do that is by generous business with former Russian republics while at the same time attacking RUssian economy.. This is why Russia cannot survive by just being another China or another India.. ie.. a Self Centered Nation ,with not much interest to expand. The only way Russia can survive is Expanding or capitulating to the west..
There is no middle terms. Either Russia becomes an alternative to USA.. or they become a colony.. they no longer can continue existing as a local power. So Russia needs to influence Belarusians and Ukrainians into their Orbit..
And the best way to influence others is by being a very prosperous ,fully developed and modern nation and becoming a real alternative to USA ,becoming a world leader and becoming the best in technology and entertainment and developed infrastructure.
So Russia will not survive by being a passive nation or a regional power ,like other BRICS nations.. because the west will continue trying to break Russia in parts by luring their allies and their own Russians citizens into their orbit. What we know as 5th column in Russia is the result of the failure of Russia Government to compete with Europe or USA in quality of life. Russia will need to expand its influence in the Russian world to survive and former soviet republics to survive... otherwise more Euromaidans will happen..at their borders.
