Why Putin System is so
dangerous?

 topics

How did a political system appear,
which has resulted in the war against Ukraine?

 POSITION

The War

For Russia the war with Ukraine is akin to a self-imposed nuclear strike
 POSITION

Eastern Ukraine

The end of the war and ensuring the security of Donbass residents – will be the real path to the peace.
 POSITION

Crimea

There must be a legitimate referendum on the future of Crimea under strict international control.
 POSITION

Syria

Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War was a glaring mistake. Taking part in the domestic fight between Sunnis and Shiites is the immediate threat to Russian citizens' security.
 POSITION

Economic reforms in the 1990s

Economic reforms in Russia in the 1990s built the base for the Putin system where the authorities, property and business have been merged together.
