More nationally - disdain to central rule of Moscow, locally, usually ecological or corruption related stuff. Absolutely disconnected from any global struggles.
0, it’s curious, from my perception, political energy is focused on the local stuff, because local bureaucracy and companies are usually so blatantly exploitative. In some republics it’s inherently intertwined with nationality though.
Both completely neutered, with occasional based older folks here and there, seen as useless. Significantly hindered, younger generations only saw the rot of the 80s and can’t connect the 90s with 70s.
People - grudging respect for china, indifference to Syria or iran, USA is adored in somewhat ignorant neolib circles (and fash, but that’s obvious), more advanced ones prefer Europe. Politically - USA is empire and big bad (neolibs POV - we should open to them and copy), Europe losing its soul to immigrants (here is an interesting needle to thread without emboldening racist movement too much), Syria is a latest victim of usa, Iran - has done nothing wrong (here it’s actually the most fascinating, because while Iran is an ally, their oil trade hurt sale prices and profits, more likely to be a thorn in America’s side).
Jesus how could I forget: the orthodox church has forged an unholy alliance with government, I’m starting to see fucking shit about abortions, traditional marriage (well, thats now in constitution), obeying the husband, respecting rulers coming from churches in the last 10 years.
Not an op.
