Russia 2035: The Harsh Future Even Putin Can't Stop

Elvira Bary

Russia is racing toward 2035 — but the future waiting for it is harsher than anyone admits. 👉 What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6d9EIByxz1AdkmIOYUlrDd0rmByq5zSN What will Russia look like in 2035? In this video, Elvira Bary unpacks the powerful forces shaping Russia’s next decade — from demographic collapse and brain drain to economic decline, global distrust, and China’s shifting expectations. Instead of predicting the future, she maps the real constraints that will define it, and the competing dreams of elites, ordinary citizens, reformers, and foreign powers. If you want to understand the harsh future Russia is drifting toward — and why even Putin can’t stop it — this is the video to watch.

Hello people! Fellow russian here. I am 22 years old and I never knew anything besides Putin's Russia and all the humility of it. Every day since this war started I feel like I am dying inside little by little. Most painful part is how many people here are brainwashed by propaganda. Literally couple days ago I've heard my colleague (she is a woman about 55 years old) "Oh, I wish the war to be over already! I would go there and kill everyone with my own hands if I only could." I just can't associate with those people, I grew bitter, hurt and hateful towards russian people, their culture, even their language. My own family and mother rejected me when they found out that I am against the war so I am completely alone in this and I can't even speak up with nobody. I don't even get enough money to move elsewhere working full time and if I won't make it out next year or two then I will end myself, rather than lving a life full of this pain every day. I can barely exist here and honestly I am growing desperate. There is no hope for better future, at least not in my lifespan. Thanks for reading my rant to whoever would. Have a merry Christmas and never believe anything russian propaganda tells you.

Elvira, I love your videos because you fill every second of them with pertinent information, rather than talk in circles to drag out the video. You really are in a league of your own.

This is so depressing. Those in power in America are making the same mistakes, just some years behind.

I think that it is merely a matter of time before China tries to recover some of the territory it lost to Russia in 1860.

I wonder if the leader to succeed Putin will denounce him like Khrushchev did Stalin.

Russia is already dead. There are no men left. There is no economy left, except the fascist fusion of the Russian Orthodox Church and the mafioso-infested supply system for its war. There is no hope of even winning this war, but Putin still thinks he is going to restore the geographic footprint of the USSR. He is like a bag-lady who clutches old souvenirs like treasure, while still trying to accumulate more and more trash. He needs to be stopped from this suicidal (and homicidal) trajectory.

The Russian leadership has betrayed its own citizens. The departure of so many professionals and average citizens proclaims: "This country has no future.".

I don't know why, but it somehow makes perfect sense for the times we are in now, that an elegant, soft-spoken Russian-American middle-aged woman fiction writer, provides sharper, more insightful analys on the trajectory of Russia than all the whole international relations media commentariat.

If Russia had a balanced middle class with freedom to discuss, to decide, to advise, we would find a similar America in 1792, then I would see a constructive future.... All I see is one Mafia taking over from another Mafia in Russia

Russia could have been flourishing financially, socially, culturally, mentally, scientifically and materially if just atomic armed putin is not dragging russia into war and aggression, threaths against his neighbors, exploitation of his people, fear, unpredictable state decisions, stupid empire dreams, rising poverty, lack of stability, severe corruption and more and more ignorance. Russia has everything to succeed except from a pompous and psychopatic president oppressing his citizens not to be free, engaged, awake, informed, paticipating and joyful..have a prosperous new year elvira

We want a democratic Russia, with the Caucasus completely independent and other nations free to choose if they will join or not, not forced to be part of Russia through coercion.

As a Russian, I can only say that Russia is doomed to be a totalitarian hellhole forever.

Russia will have become a huge North Korea, isolated, dangerous but manageable. People will starve now and then. Nobody will help them. All of their own making. 😢

Thank you for an exciting broadcast, Elvira❤ When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, confidence in the Soviet Union was extremely low in Scandinavia. But a majority here believed in a better future with our neighbours in the east, and the whole of society supported Russia. Now it will take generations for Russia to rebuild any kind of credibility with us. I am afraid that Russia will launch an aggression against Europe and then probably collapse, with terrible consequences for us all. I hope I am wrong!
