I read the article "The Putin's Message of 2019..." (23-02-2019, 12: 00) about the writer-futurist Maxim Kalashnikov, about his interview and about plans about the referendum in Sevastopol.
I liked the article itself. Written in an energetic style, and it is possible to agree with many thoughts. I did not find a surname of the author of article. There is a word "PISAREV" [written in Latin letters]. Maybe this is the name of the author of the article?
If we consider each thesis of this article separately, the discussion risks being endless.

3. The "middle option" - "just" "bad" policy - is most real.
As for prospects ...
First, science fiction writers can offer their own versions.
Secondly, readers who do not like fiction can read news reports about the developments in Venezuela and try to mentally build something out...
I do not pretend to present any revelations and to Express any complex, finished judgments, but it seemed to me that the train (suitable) for politicians with positive, "correct" programs already left ...
