The future of Russia excites not only the political elite of the country, but also ordinary citizens. Watching periodically occurring protests against the political and economic situation, many Russians ask themselves: will the confrontation between the authorities and the opposition lead to a full-scale civil war?
The alignment of political forces in modern Russia
To answer the question about the prospects of the civil war in Russia, it is necessary to understand what is the balance of power in modern Russian society. Analysts conditionally distinguish two main camps that are behind the adoption of fateful decisions regarding the foreign and domestic policy of the state.
The first group seeks to minimize the independence and sovereignty of Russia. Its representatives believe that in the modern world individual states no longer play a dominant role and should be replaced by supranational entities. Such a position corresponds to the idea of a "new world order" that has become stronger in the West, on guard of which will be powerful transnational corporations.
Other political circles, on the contrary, are more oriented towards expanding Russia's national sovereignty, strengthening the role of the state within the country and in the international arena. This position is taken by those who are interested in independent and independent of the external influence of the conduct of politics and the economy in Russia. In other words, we are talking about the national bourgeoisie.
The political elite that today holds control of the country belongs to the second group.
