Then a rebellion will erupt.

It won't ignite. Such people can only act as a pack, and the pack will run at the first shot fired into the air.

Look at the year 1917. It was also a pack, but they didn't run away.

That wasn't a mob (are you referring to 1917?). Back then, people were still capable of great achievements. And the revolution was a national one against an anti-national monarchy.

Sorry, I made a mistake. Are you unable to do it right now?

Currently – no. The Russian people are now in a period of deep decline. One can boast about past achievements as much as they like, but there is no longer the strength to accomplish new ones. It is the law of nature. The old are not capable of what the young can do.

Not right now. Right now, the Russian people are in a period of deep decline. You can boast about your past achievements as much as you want, but there is no longer the strength to accomplish new ones. It's the law of nature. The elderly are not capable of what the young can do.

There was one philosopher (I'll remember the name and post it), he created a theory that any nation rises for about a thousand years, reaches its peak for a thousand years, and then declines. According to him, China and Russia do not fit this theory. So, perhaps Russia will rejuvenate.
p.s. Let's hope so.

Russia never experienced a golden age.

Very funny.... it mentioned a thousand years at its peak... and even regarding this period, one could argue for a long time; there was some stability, but was it really a period of prosperity?!...

The peak of development in relation to this specific country, and not any other.

Still doesn't look like it.

I personally adhere to the theory of L.N. Gumilev, who states that the average lifespan of an ethnos is 1200-1500 years. However, under certain unfavorable factors, the course of development can be interrupted. The history of the Russian ethnos begins approximately in the fourteenth century (500 years younger than Europe, 400 older than the USA). The same peak for the Russian ethnos was the 17-18 centuries (from the first Romanovs to Catherine II). There were successes afterward as well, but they were not as significant. Due to the mistakes of Peter I, a national revolution occurred in 1917, overthrowing an anti-national monarchy. And here is where it gets most interesting. In the period from 1914 to approximately 1953, there was a serious depletion of the ethnos's strength. In forty years, it aged by about five hundred years. And now we have caught up with Europe and have become old men ourselves.

What a nightmare. I personally condemn such actions.

What actions are you referring to? The ones that aged us? These are: World War I, the Civil War, the repressions, World War II, and the post-war famine. Of all this, only the repressions can be condemned, but the question is, would we have survived without them? Wouldn't we have lost the war then?
