You can't wish away a country the political system of which is based on war and repression. If previously Russia, as a politeconomic entity, lived on exporting gas and oil, it now depends solely on war to sustain its political carcass and the structure of its elites reflects this

Pretending you're dealing with the earlier iteration of Russia, which hosted international events and wooed European experts, is wishful thinking. Russia has evolved into an entirely different beast and it's time we accept that fact and strategize accordingly.
