What do you think about raising Novgorod from the ashes of history and put an end to the Tsar tyranny once and for all? Do you think Russian citizens could in secret build the much needed institutions and powers while still under the yoke of the current mongol absolutist power structure? Maybe over i2p? It's clear that killing Putin won't be enough.

Hi.

For reference there was not an absolute yoke. It can't be for centuries. Rulers or the territories (principalities) were trading and making agreements with mongols. Probably normal people had not the best days, because the render fall on their shoulders in the end. But no one asked their opinion. And the rulers started to create alliances against the mongols when the conditions became worse and worse and the Great Horde weakened.

And as I don't believe that revolutions are made by masses, there is no way something like this can happen in Russia now. Maybe there is some kind of conspiracy happening right now in the higher circles, but it will not change anything. Maybe even more delusioned FSB official will have the power.

I'm afraid all this is for decades. Until all the Putin's generation generals, FSB higher ranks and so on become weak or even die.

Maybe I am to too pessimistic though.
