Finally I Want to Refer to the West and the Question of Regime Change . You Recently Wrote That Although Western Leaders Will Not Let Russia Win the War They Do Not Necessarily Want Russian Regime Change .. This Seems to Go Against the Dominant Narrative in the West and Even on the Western Left That Behind Us Motives in Ukraine is to Weaken Russia and Promote Some Kind of Regime Change. Why Do You Think They Are Not Interested in Changing the Russian Regime Well It Depends on What You Mean by Regime Change. If Regime Change Means Simply Changing the Name of the President Then That is Exactly What the West Wants.
They Definitely Want Putin to Too Far Because He is Toxic and to Some Extent Crazy or at Least Unpredictable and Dangerous. So They Want to Get Rid of It. But Do They Want Russia to Become a Democratic and Open Society Dominated Finland Phone Number by People Who Are Not Corrupt and Who Care About the Social and Economic Development of the Country I Really Doubt It. What They Want is a Kind of Putinism Without Putin. They May Also Want Some Minor Cosmetic Changes Such as Placing Certain Liberal Economists in the Government Although It Must Be Said the Government is Already Dominated by Neoliberal Economists.
All of These Economists Inside and Outside the Government Share the Same Point of View and the Same Approach to Economics. They All Share the Same Idea That Russia is Integrated Into the World Economy as a Seller of Raw Materials and Energy and Therefore Becomes Increasingly Dependent on Western Markets. The West Wants Putin to Resign and the Russian Elites Want Exactly the Same Thing There is a Consensus on This. Only There is One Small Problem Putin is Not Going to Resign. Furthermore if He Finally Resigns in Whatever Form He Takes It Will Not Be the End of the Movie as the Western and Russian Elites Hope but It Will Be the Beginning of a Much Deeper Crisis.
