Russia will expand not because, what is good or bad, because it's physics. She can't escape this fate, as well as from other unshakable laws of nature.
Vladislav Surkov discusses this topic, former assistant to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in article, published by the online edition "Actual Comments".
He claims, that in the future the world expects a period, when the superpowers begin active "gathering of lands". And Russia, as one of them, will also not be able to stay away from this process.
The time has not yet come for this, another era ends now, characterized by multipolarity. The result of the action of centrifugal forces was the parade of sovereignties and the "renaissance" of nationalist movements. This trend, in particular, affected the post-Soviet space.
But other ideas should come back soon., who will rule the world. These are the ideas of globalism and internationalism. And that time is not far off. And Russia throughout its history was one of the few countries in the world, playing the role of "globalizer". And then the times of the Third Rome can return to us again, or the Third International.
properly, even the very existence of the Russian state and its preservation, according to Surkov, provided solely by the desire to go beyond its borders. Quite possibly, that this process is already beginning to unfold.
