Russia has chosen degradation. As the Kremlin elite weakens and Ukrainian becomes stronger

The quality of Russian elites for objective reasons was originally higher than the Ukrainian ones. But, says analyst Valery Pekar, this difference is rapidly offset by the progress of Ukrainians and the degradation of the Russians. Russian elites are stronger than our elites: quality selection, deep long -term training. Finally, the extraction of the best human capital from colonies, including us.

Our post -colonial elites are weak: negative selection, usually poor preparation, constant degradation due to lack of development - because if you do not develop up, then you slide down, and post -colonial development is usually negative, that is, degradation of old colonial systems, if, of course, not to build new quality. If we take a simple opposition to the elite against the elites, then we do not shine. But there are three "but". As many as three.
