If Russia collapses...what happens next? - Paul Warburg



Vladimir Putin is preparing for total societal collapse in Russia. Shouldn't we also? There's a lot of speculation about what might happen to Russia if Putin falls out of power or the country collapses. I add my perspective with verifiable historical precedents. I look at what happened after the collapse of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, and identify what pieces could help us predict what would happen if Russia were to collapse again as a result of their war against Ukraine.
