I'm not saying literal monarchy, but similar uneasy compromise with "accepting the revolution of the past" made by reactionaries to stave off a new revolution.
Reminds me that the Soviet Union initially put arrested Nazis into their own camps.
The real lesson the US learned was not "don't do genocide" but "don't run out of oil".
It's more likely that Russia is heading in short term not to socialism but to something reminiscent of July Monarchy, where it remains capitalist, but allows significant concessions for socialism.
For example, the world in 1914 and 1939 were without a doubt multipolar, and those both resulted in brutal world wars which killed millions.
Yes, and both those wars resulted in massive gain for socialism.
The Country over, party!
Juche must flow.
Mostly industrial and rural areas. Moscow is overwhelmingly anticommunist, St. Petersburg and North Caucasus aren't much better, but other places are overall full of pro-Soviet people, but this nostalgy is completely unorganized. Still, it is noticeable that the authorities know about it and are increasingly trying to appeal to it. It also limits the degree of anticommunism the authorities can afford to do without significant protests.
Is this degrowth?
The problem is that the nationalism of the oppressed can very easily morph into the nationalism of the oppressors. Look at Poland, where pre-1918 nationalism was liberatory and post-1918 it seamlessly switched to oppressing ethnic minorities.
"The enemy wants to capture Tula - the forge of the Red Army. Comrades, defend Tula, crush the enemy!"
It is possible, but it would not be long-lasting, and there is a high probability of a new revolution (just like historical July Monarchy, which lasted for 18 years).
