The reason why traditional parties are back in popularity is that those "new age" parties can't reclaim the promises, what they have given to voters.  The power of populistic movements is that they promise something concrete to the people, but as it happened many times before those promises have been over limited when they are compared with resources of the state.


When some group begins to control the state, the limits will come from national funds. Those funds are the thing, what the government uses for paying its own payments to own citizens and of course to the other states. This fund is capital, what government uses if it must reclaim its money back from markets, and if there is too much money in the markets, it will collapse the value of money, if that money comes to markets.


That brings very strong disappointing for voters, who wanted to get those things, what those parties have been promised. And when those promises leave in the level of promises, will voters leave that party. When we are talking about radicalism in political control, we must say that radical movements are often driven their state to destruction. Example of that advantage is Bolshevik-revolution in Russia 1917 and rise of Nazi-government in Germany in 1930's.


Those movements were very radical, and that radical policy drove those states to war and then authoritarian government-controlling policy destroyed the economics of The Soviet Union, but the economics were a reason, why, Adolf Hitler attacked to Polland in 1939. The reason for the attack was that nazi-party took their popularity by promising work for the people, and they, of course, made many workplaces, but those workplaces were in the police force and military industry.


And of course, those workplaces were grown in public sectors, like building new houses for a new government. That made very bad losses for cash of the state, and then Hitler decided to attack against Poland because they wanted to rob that states money and national treasures. When economic situation is bad, will the people want new workplaces, but if those workplaces are only in the public sector, the economic situation will not able to fix. Only real marketing is an answer to the bad economic situation because public workplaces are only money holes for the government.

Why political atmosphere in Russia is changing?

Vladimir Putin will continue as the president of Russia if he wants. But that state will change, because that will be the end of something that have stamped all Putin's presidential work. Putin has lost contact with young people, and if he plays a role as an elder and wiser man than another person, he will go far away from young people. People are getting older and they don't want to get back past. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1992 and after that was time of political and economic disaster when societies were unstable.

That caused the rise of Putin, and after drunk Boris Jeltsin, he was better than people could even thin for a ruler of that country. Bad social situation and chaotic nation society will help that kind of man to rise a leader for the country. Those are things what makes people want to get strong leaders, and that is, of course, bad for democracy. But when the situation of state will become calm people begin to want more ways to make the influence of highest level of political control. Putin's idea of his work was that he will put down open corruption and open criminal activities.


But there was silent corruption inside government. Russian laws are very authoritative and that's why the democratic surveillance of government is almost impossible. If newspaper men will write against Kremlin will they will get troubles. But as we see the glove of secret police will slip from society. Russia goes to democracy sooner or later, but we must understand that state ever been real democracy, and that's why bringing democracy to that country will take longer than other East European states.


The reason of changing a political atmosphere in Russia is that people's attitudes are changing. People who saw the Soviet Union are now about 40's and that means at younger people have found new interests than military service. In Putin's time, Russia has been at two wars which didn't go so good as Putin probably hopes. And before those actions against Georgia and Ukraine was Groznyi, what destroyed totally when Russian army attacked against that rebellious city.


Russian own artillery made more damages than any terrorist organization ever could make. And the same style begins in Syria. That's why some people think that Russian military is leaning only for nuclear weapons.  Truth is that wars what Putin began went very bad because his military couldn't neutralize any targets without causing massive damages to infrastructure. Putin rose very masculine militarism as a stamp of Russia, but I think that those special forces kickboxing and other aggressive training methods make those troops very unwanted service places for many young people.


They just want to go to the army and came back as normal servicemen around the world. And younger people don't even know what was the Soviet Union. Putin was born in 1952, and he is now 65. So he will be an old man. His career as the president of Russia will over sooner or later, and if some 18 years old young people look, Putin, he will look like the grandpa. And for them will sooner or later time to elect the younger man as the leader of Russia.
