Kamil päivittänyt Ukrainan sodan lähihistorian Intro-threadia. Ehdottomasti jos ette ole vielä käyneet tutustumassa niin suosittelen.
Alla pikaisesti kasattu sisällysluettelo:
1. By February 27, I concluded that Russia would lose this war. Russian army was overrated, Ukrainian - underrated, while Russian political goals misunderstood. They planned for 1968-style pacification
2. Avocado economy: Why Russia cannot manufacture anything?
3. Russian military industry completely depends upon technological import from the West, not from China. Whereas Kremlin closed their eyes on importing European equipment and pretending it's Russian, it jailed those who tried to do the same with Chinese
4. Russia is primarily the natural resources exporter. This created two problems. First, sources of cheap-to-extract resources are depleting. Second, it can't compensate for losses on Western markets in China. It just doesn't pay off
5. Crisis and Jubilee Russia's spiralling into a deep crisis. It was visible before the war but now it's rapidly accelerating. And every major crisis entails mass redistribution of power, property and status. Because crisis is essentially a Jubilee
6. A crash introduction into Chechnya
7. How to hack the system. On the procedurality of bureaucracy and thus of state, etc.
8. Vladislav Surkov and Putin's rise to power
9. Stalin's industrialisation. Mostly based on Sonia Melnikova-Raich's research which I absolutely recommend
10. The motivation behind Z-war is not "security", "alliances" or even political affiliation. It's the need to extinguish wrong cultural memes and impose correct ones. That's why the war has wide popular support and why Russians so easily agreed for it
11. Parliamentarism in Russia. What should you know about the Communist Party (TL;DR Communists = Russian GOP)
12. TDZ Turn -> Kr Prom -> Krasmash Case study on supply chains of the Russian nuclear delivery systems producing industry. Krasmash is the only* liquid propellant ICMB producing plant in the country
