Well, I’m a bit upset Netflix removed Medici before I could finish the series. So can sympathize.

On the eve of the visit of a person appointed by the President of Russia and similar to Vladimir Putin to China, the parties are mostly satisfied with each other’s positions.
The Chinese comrades are grateful to the Russian leadership for approving Mikhail Mishustin as the head of the Government, and the Russian leadership simply needs Beijing to recognize the double as the President of Russia and, of course, China’s help in circumventing sanctions to maintain the war in Ukraine.
The Chinese even agreed on the lists of the delegation from the Russian side without any problems and allowed “dubious” figures, such as Sechin, to participate in the negotiations.
But behind the apparent idyll there are problems that are unlikely to be resolved in the near future, but who knows.
The Chinese leadership intends to obtain for use vast territories of Russia located in Siberia and the Far East.
These are precisely the territories that Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to his Chinese comrades several years ago and the long-term lease agreements for which he personally certified more than a year ago.
For the Russian leadership, even the publication of this information at the official level threatens a crisis situation in the country, not to mention the implementation of these agreements.
Despite the repressions, the population of Russia is unlikely to applaud the actual alienation of the country’s territories, which are larger in size than the territory of Ukraine.
The Chinese insist that implementation of the agreement begin on January 1, 2025, as previously agreed. During their visit to China, the Russian leadership plans to try to agree to postpone this date by one year, while appeasing their Chinese colleagues with economic preferences.
A permanent crisis will haunt the Russian government until the end of the regime.
