separatism, the potential of separatism, hybrid war, asymmetric actionsAbstract
The article examines the potential of separatism on the territory of Russia. It has been established that separatism is a natural phenomenon for a post-colonial state, which is generated by the desire of disaffected ethnic and sub-ethnic population groups living within the historical homeland and defined borders of the Russian Federation for independence or autonomy for one reason or another.
The instability of the situation in Russian regions is a manifestation of economic stagnation, corruption of officials, state exploitation of natural resources, complex social situation and, as a result, dissatisfaction of the population, lack of real federalism, democracy, effectiveness of regional policy and government accountability. At the same time, the central government of the Russian Federation does not pay enough attention to the needs of the regions, considering them exclusively as resources.
The results of the study are particularly relevant in the framework of the search for opportunities for Ukraine to conduct asymmetric actions against the background of the ongoing Russian hybrid war, considering the superiority in military power and resource potential of the Russian Federation.
