In 2022 , Russian troops and officials exhumed the bones of 18th-century Russian commander Grigory Potemkin .

He was a favourite of Empress Catherine the Great and played a critical role in the annexation of Crimea in 1783 .

Putin was not driven by logic, nor a passion to turn his country into a modern, outward-looking power.

He and his Siloviki (past and present securocrats from the KGB and FSB ) believe they were the culprits behind the Soviet Union .

In Putin 's version of history it is Britain , not the US , which is at the heart of Russia ’s failures.

We were behind the Crimean war and defeat of the Czars, we were behind rise of Hitler , and our espionage was behind the end of the Soviet Union .

Make no mistake, Putin is coming for us. We must be prepared for the inevitable.
