“The emperor only values his throne and will do anything to protect it, while all others are mere resources to be exploited,” writes Aleksandar Đokić, a Serbian political scientist and former lecturer at RUDN University in Moscow. “In other words, the Russian empire is knowingly throwing its own people, people of its own nation, into a meatgrinder, a virtual abyss.”
Russian Empire stopped its existence in the year 1917, what is that article about? 😂
Reading an article is a good way to avoid posting garbage.
Officially it did, but in fact Russia is still very much an empire with colonised lands and never stopped being one
Yes, already in the title we can read of " Putin’s empire" and it’s clear all over the analysis that the author doesn’t refer with “empire” to the Russia before 1917. I guess @Johnny Wild misinterpreted the text (maybe intentionally? Unfortunately there are some people here on Lemmy who are intentionally misinterpreting some content, although recently this is becoming more and more better imho).
