It appears to me something very serious is actually starting in Russia. We may see a 1917-type Russian revolution. That one also happened because of a war, World War I. That one was the end of the Russian Empire. This one could be the end of the Russian Federation.

Funny how history so very often repeats. If it does happen, I wonder what will become of Russia. What I wish for them is a true democracy. They have never had that. Russia has always had a tsar or a dictator in charge.
