In his new book, Maxim Kalashnikov shows what the Kremlin's policy has led us to. The ruins, blood and destroyed economy of Donbass, Ukraine united on anti-Russianness, a severe socio-economic crisis in the Russian Federation - these are just some of the results of this "brilliant" policy. If you apply sports terminology, the Kremlin is now in a deep knockdown, writes Kalashnikov, and all of us will have to pay for this defeat. Not limited to a critical analysis of the situation, the author says what the Kremlin must do in order to save itself from complete defeat, and us from political chaos and poverty.
