Russia can repeat the fate of the USSR and fall apart. And, some will go forward, and others - and will remain in the past.
This was stated by the outstanding Russian writer Vladimir Voinovich.
In his opinion, this can happen after the end of Vladimir Putin's presidency.
"... For radicalism, too, there are reasons. Therefore, it is quite possible that what happened to the Soviet Union will happen to Russia: it may collapse into some pieces. And some pieces will go far, as Ukraine is trying to (although, in my opinion, you are not yet very far gone), but, in any case, will go in this direction, and some part will get stuck in the distant past, "- admitted he.
