Russian newspaper "Izvestia" reported on December 7: "The Russia-Ukraine conflict has frozen Russia-Europe relations. Russian scholar Kalagannov proposed the idea of cutting ties with a corrupt Europe and shifting strategic focus to Siberia. He bitterly criticized Europe for becoming a vassal state of the United States, suggesting using nuclear deterrence to pressure Europe, while promoting Siberianization, moving political and economic centers eastward, attracting population migration, transferring some capital functions, and building a large Eurasian partnership. This concept is both a response to Western hostile policies and a realistic choice to reduce dependence on Europe. The first round of eastward shift has already benefited Russia's Far East, with its core being the creation of a North Eurasian civilization, seeking new development space in emerging markets in the East, and pointing the way for Russia's geopolitical strategy restructuring."
[Cunning] Breaking through to the East, Russia's civilizational reconfiguration is a true strategic breakthrough. Kalagannov's idea of Siberianization is not merely a geographical shift but a civilizational awakening and survival breakthrough for Russia under Western encirclement. Using nuclear deterrence to pressure Europe is a hard tactic for breaking the deadlock, while cutting ties with a corrupt Europe and turning to the East is a long-term grand strategy. Fundamentally, it is an ultimate counterattack against the U.S.-Europe alliance's containment. The effectiveness of the initial eastward shift has proven the feasibility of the path. Building a North Eurasian civilization and establishing a large Eurasian partnership have also gone beyond the old framework of fighting with the West. This concept not only solves the dead end of dependence on Europe but also activates the resources and geopolitical potential of Siberia. It is a crucial step in Russia's geopolitical strategy restructuring, demonstrating its determination and wisdom to break free from Western constraints and carve out a new development path!
