Their most likely answer is tightening the screws, as they're running out of other means." In the near future, he envisages Russia's becoming a country whose dwindling population is mired in deepening poverty, an increasingly authoritarian state, run by a handful of immensely rich people, their despotism mediated only by their wish to be accepted...
