Do the lives of Russians anywhere matter to such a monstrous political entity as the Russian empire? The answer is simple – they don’t, Aleksandar Đokić writes.

“The emperor only values his throne and will do anything to protect it, while all others are mere resources to be exploited,” writes Aleksandar Đokić, a Serbian political scientist and former lecturer at RUDN University in Moscow. “In other words, the Russian empire is knowingly throwing its own people, people of its own nation, into a meatgrinder, a virtual abyss.”
