"Results of online referendums showed two important trends. Firstly, the idea of independence of regions has deepened among people inhabiting the "Russian empire". Secondly, the Russian authorities are afraid of us, free citizens and the results of our expression of will." - commented the organizers.
Foreign political experts previously predicted that Russia will become a failed state or disintegrate by 2033.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the West's "plan" to divide Russia and suggested documentary evidence pointing to this, emphasizing that the fate of the people of Russia could have changed significantly if Moscow had not interfered with the policies of the West.
