Mate the offspring of the House of Romanov live all around the world now.
I don't really imagine a restoration of said dynasty is possible.
So i would not hold out much hope for a return to a monarchy in Russia.
Kind of a step in the wrong direction also imho.

So which family/royal line would replace the Romanovs?
An monarchy ruled by an elected monarch, even in contrast to the hereditary type, would essentially amount to a dictator for life would it not?
Consensus and majorities change over time hence the problems associated or that may arise there i imagine.

I see you are a Russian citizen and are able to communicate with the West.
The Russian government is planning to unplug from the global internet.
Enjoy your freedom while you still can.
It would be like shooting yourself in the foot with a cruise missile ffs. LoL

Yeah...bummer.
What do you suggest we do about it?
Let me know when the weapons of mass destruction start flying...I'll be sure to put on some sunglases, get out my deskchair and open a nice bottle wine.

Once you choose such a position and elevate someone to such heights, is it for life?
What about there offspring would they then become hereditary monarchs after the demise of the father?
Just seems like a complete step backwards to me RussianTroll, especially in the information age in which we live.
Today's world requires more monarchies like it does a hole in the head imho.
Also when is anything ever unanimously and by consensus in our world?
Division is everywhere and at every level far as i can establish.

Maybe we can nominate younger, more stable people for President in 2024, instead of old white guys.

Personally i don't see any of the above coming about in this day of age.
Its a superior form of governance that's required imho, and one that's yet to be devised, that somewhat transcends communism, democracy or monarchies.

One thing just jumped out at me from his speech. He said we have opposed the "fake US democratic regime". That's an interesting choice of words. It could be nothing but it leaves me with questions...
Is that implying he knows the election was stolen?
Is there a "real" regime out there somewhere?
Is this a setup for a false flag?
Do I read too many conspiracy stories? (Lol, sorry but this is how my brain works these days).
I too hope this is just saber rattling.
Cheers ATS.

I have my own attitude to modern democracy. I consider her to be absolute evil. But it exists and must be reckoned with.
Once Joseph Stalin said this about democracy:
"I have always thought that democracy is the rule of the people, but Comrade Roosevelt clearly explained to me that democracy is the rule of the American people."
But it's still much simpler now:
"Democracy is the rule of the democrats."
What democracy will turn into tomorrow, I do not know, I can only guess.
Therefore, I can quite understand this Chinese general.
