I shall steal the first four points from Novi, and then...
5. Clamp down on corruption like crazy.
6. End the war in Ukraine - it's nonsensical at this point,
and concentrate on
peaceful development.
6'. Send Putin and his mafia to the tribunal and let them rot in jail.
7. Restore friendly relations with the EU (difficult one).
8. Promote family values and traditional Christian morality.
9. Invest heavily in education and technology.
10. Open culture and language centers all over the world.
11. Try to become the focal point for the Panslavic movement again
(after this f*cking war it will be almost impossible but try).
12. Use your oil and gas money to create some soft power - even
if it's painful use it to buy support. It works (ask the Germans).
13. ... over to you, Novi.
the number 2 emigration destination
How many people emigrated to Russia back then? Nothing remotely close to what you aim at. And how many do you think will be willing to do so now? You had GDP per capita lower than Costa Rica
before this war (I don't even want to think what it will be after it). You know what attracts immigrants - wealth.
still hundreds of thousands come annually
...and hundreds of thousands of Russians leave. How is that going to improve things?
learn Russian
That's a huge obstacle to mass immigration to Russia. It's not the easiest language in the world, is it?
