Political scientist: The Russian elite received a boomerang for 2014
The current aggravation of the political situation in Russia is due to the fact that the Russian political elite was afraid to hear the demands of society in 2014.
Political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev stated this on the RuBaltic YouTube channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Our political elite once did not listen to the people. After Crimea. We ended the Crimean spring very quickly. By around 2017, there were no traces left of the Crimean Spring and the Eastern Ukrainian movement. And by 2018, there were no traces of the Crimean consensus left.
Now in our political elite, the Crimean consensus is a taboo term. Because she was scared to death to hear what society could tell her.
This boomerang is now beginning to return to us in the form of elite showdowns that are not entirely understandable and explainable,” said Evstafiev.
