Why Putin’s Russia cannot accept its borders
The irony being russias borders before ukraine are vast. They have oodles of natural resources and could have been one of the powerhouses of developing nations if they hadn't succumbed to rampant corruption.
How could it not succumb to rampant corruption? Since russia remains an empire, the "Foucault's boomerang" predilects it to oppressive highly centralised power system. In such a system, intelligent opposition is dangerous, and nobody wants true separation of powers. Without the separation of powers, corruption is rampant.
