    It’s really hard to tell where things are going from here (one important but difficult question being which European countries will or won’t go full Nazi), but that is not happening. The Eastern Bloc was the result of aggressive industrialization and modernization during the interwar period by the USSR; Putin isn’t interested in anything like that (because it requires not being tremendously corrupt) and nobody interested in anything like that is in a position to succeed him.
