What are some of Russia’s historical analogues or antecedants who were eased into mitigation?
Its all about the easing process of defanging them. Like gently but firmly removing the reins of power and helping the pesky ones go quietly into this sad night
Russia under the tsars?
But how were the Tsars eased from influence and control, what did that process look like?
They and everyone related to them that could be found were hunted down and killed, followed by a civil war and 69 years of iron fisted rule by a new elite, posing as communists, after which those elites who saw the imminent collapse pivoted to being oligarchs.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
