G. Zelenko characterized the relevance of the empirical base, which makes it possible to adequately assess the state of affairs in the Russian Federation, outlined how the political regime in the Russian Federation was transformed under the influence of military aggression against Ukraine, analyzed the prospects of the so-called “world order Z” and the reasons for the disintegration of the Russian Federation, which are clearly not obvious, which determines the need for an adequate assessment of the probable scenarios of the development of the Russian-Ukrainian war and an equally adequate policy for confrontation in this war.
