What’s the difference for a normal person? Half of European and Asian banks are full of these “nationalists” money stollen from the working people, and a country with litteral goldmines, rare earth, unlimited timber and some of the largest oil reserves is less developed then most of the middle east states whose population was nomadic less then a hundred years ago.
Id cheer nearly anything that challenges the current regime, but I’m afraid in a while you will find out, that there can be no organised popular movement there able to challenge the regime same as currently there can be none in the western states. Any live and not imprisoned opposition politicians in Russia are either controlled or currupted, every one they can’t easilly controlled is killed and imprisoned. Not that I particularly liked any of them, but this is how it works. And the masses can do shit against a modern internal army. So untill the regime falls by internal or external forces, there will be no change there.
The difference is that nationalists seek internal development for production, whereas imperialists seek underdevelopment to keep wages low and out of the higher “value add” parts of supply chains (that are really only “value add” because the west historically had a monopoly on them). The system isn’t working for everyone though, and as such communists are rising in quantity and the nationalists are forced into trying to claim soviet heritage. This isn’t really working, though, and the CPRF has been rising in support. Modern internal armies aren’t ominpotent, nor does it need to look like the Russian Civil War of the past.
