As long as Russia continues to be an empire, there's "Foucault's boomerang" in action. The metropoly can't be more free than the colonies it oppresses. Metropolitan libertarians will continue to be crushed by the loyal policing forces, recruited in deprived colonies.
I had to google that phrase. Interesting idea,
The imperial boomerang or Foucault's boomerang is the thesis that governments that develop repressive techniques to control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens.
