“Russia: a system of "bandit robbery" - Leonid Ivashov, retired Russian colonel general and a prominent figure in Russian military. In a candid analysis of the current state of putin’s Russia, General Ivashov argues that the Kremlin is not a collection of rival camps, but a single, unified team. Their primary objective is not the welfare of the nation, but the consolidated control and extraction of the country’s vast resources. According to the General, the infighting we witness is merely a facade—a "bandit struggle" for influence and wealth redistribution, while the country suffers under a mounting systemic crisis. Ivashov paints a grim picture of a Russia where every critical sector, from the economy and science to healthcare and the military, is in a state of terminal decline. He argues that the current political model, established under the auspices of the ruling party, has completely exhausted its potential. The centralisation of power has effectively turned Russia’s regions into powerless, marionette structures, stripping them of the ability to manage their own economies or address the needs of their local populations. The General posits that the only way to arrest this degradation is through fundamental, "revolutionary" changes, not necessarily a violent civil war, but a systematic, top-to-bottom dismantling of the current authoritarian vertical. Ivashov insists that the people must become the actual source of power, as nominally declared in the Constitution, rather than mere spectators to the elites’ power games. Regions must regain control over their own territorial economies, ensuring that the wealth extracted from their land actually benefits the local people who live and work there. Ivashov’s message is ultimately one of urgency. He challenges the public to stop supporting any specific political personality and to start supporting concrete actions that dismantle the current system of "bandit robbery". Without organised, conscious involvement from the citizenry, he warns that the country will continue to wither away, with the public remaining nothing more than a "small coin" in the elites' high-stakes game. Here’s the lowdown on General Ivashov’s recent, and pretty explosive, take on the state of putin’s Russia. Narrator: “Ivashov is convinced that Russia today is experiencing not private difficulties, but a large-scale and comprehensive crisis. There are practically no spheres left, be it the economy, education, healthcare, or the army, where a decline would not be felt. Even political parties and civil institutions are devoid of independence and are not capable of proposing a way out of the current situation. He sees the reasons for this in the fact that the current management model has exhausted itself, and attempts to patch up the old system only exacerbate its decay. In these conditions, he believes, radical changes are inevitable, either from above or from below.” Ivashov: “Today the country is in a state of a systemic crisis. There is not a single sphere, including the party-political sphere, and Vladimir Petrovich talks about this, which would not be in a state of crisis. Or maybe someone sees one sphere, in the economy or somewhere, in education, in science, where there would not be a crisis? And an exit from the systemic crisis is possible only through a revolution. And a revolution can be either from above—putin or someone starts dismantling the former system and creating the system, including in the economy, about which Mikhail Leonidovich spoke. But this should be a revolutionary process. Or, if the authorities do not do this, then a revolution begins from a riot, like in Biryulyovo, and then it goes somewhere spontaneously, and then there must be an organised force that will curb this spontaneous process and translate it into a normal revolutionary character of events.”
