Russia's Future: North Korea Scenario - a Tweet Thread

This is a Tweet Thread written by Kamil Galeev, Galina Starovoitova Fellow at The Wilson Center. Since Ukraine is resolved to fight, the choice of a Russian historical track ultimately depends upon the resolve of the West. The author sees three possible futures for Russia and published them as Tweet Threads. This, the first, sets out a "North Korea Scenario". The other two threads are: Imperial Reboot and Jubilee.
