Under the plans, which were leaked to the daily Vedomosti newspaper, the majority of Russia's 141 million-strong population would be concentrated in just twenty urban centres rather than sparsely spread out over one fifth of the earth's surface as is now the case.
At the moment, ninety per cent of Russia's towns are relatively small with a population of 100,000 people or less, many of them in remote locations. The leaked plan said such places had "no future" and were not worth developing.
Instead, it proposed relocating people to twenty giant agglomerations where Russia's main natural resources such as oil and gas were located.
Unlike in Stalin's day, when people were forced to move at gunpoint on the often spurious grounds that they were 'enemies of the people' or Nazi collaborators, relocating would be optional and encouraged on economic grounds alone.
Much of rural Russia is dying as young people move to towns and cities anyway and entire Soviet-era settlements which were built around just one or two factories are no longer economically viable.
"There is no need to fight against the current and we need to develop big cities and urban centres," the plan said according to the newspaper.
Saddled by an obsession for central planning, the Soviets decreed that many towns and settlements be built in areas where the climate was too harsh and where the expense of providing basic utilities was unjustifiably expensive.

Russia has a lot of towns with no economic reason to be there, because they did not grow naturally for some economic purpose, but were placed there by decree by Soviet government planners.
As I keep saying - culture is everything and IS stronger than everything else;
from the royal Czars, to the Soviet Czars, to the Czars of Putin’s mobocracy[ the game is the same only the uniforms have changed
even under Stalin it was optional. You always had the option to die. TSA seems to be going that route.
Nah. The government would simply not provide power. Lights. Steam heat - from the central power plant in each town - which would be shut down first. No Food. No Clothing. No repair parts. No gas.
If the (centrally-controlled) train doesn’t stop in the remote town anymore, can anybody get on or get off?
the northern resource zone?
Nah, the Nipponese already claimed it.
This is basically the same long term plan as “Progressives” have in mind for red staters in the USA.
“Russia has a lot of towns with no economic reason to be there, because they did not grow naturally for some economic purpose, but were placed there by decree by Soviet government planners.”
One such city is Magnitogorsk, translated as “Magnetic Mountain.” Magnitogorsk sits on a giant iron ore deposit so large it has (or had) its own magnetic field. Magnitogorsk was built as a steel manufacturing city to be the “Soviet Pittsburgh.” Sounds great...put the steel mills on the iron ore, right?
Wrong. Under then prevailing technology, it took about three tons of coal to one ton of ore to make steel. It made no economic sense to put the mills on the iron ore deposits, it made much more sense to put them on the coal deposits to minimize transportation costs. Thus, Duluth did not become the “American Magnitogorsk” because it didn’t make economic sense.
It’s a special kind of freedom like in the US with the TSA and so many other agencies. We’re free to submit and comply or suffer the consequences.
My first thought exactly!
>>Is this not in direct compliance with the UNs Agenda 21 and the subsidiary Wildlands project, also mirrored in the US under the general category of sustainable development??<<
YES!
Yes. This is most certainly the Agenda 21 protocol. Everything is accelerating now, and i imagine there will be calls from other countries to follow soon enough. How did i not get pinged to this quicker than Willie Green to a choo-choo thread? X)
That would make hem easier to wipe them out if all we have to do is nuke20 urban centers.
>HR 645 To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish national emergency centers on military installations.<
I think this is to establish what military bases shall no be closed. ie the ones where influential legislators currently live.
A few months ago I exposed Willie as promoting a required Agenda 21 tool. He only posted for a couple more months then I guess his paycheck was cut off so he quit.
Poor Old Willie Green I feel so bad putting him on the unemployment lines in this recession. /s
correction; what military bases shall not be closed.
Ha ha ha OW! It hurts to think what America has become.
Transnational Agenda 21 proof ping.
This retrenchment program could be a recognition that the old plan didn't work.
Also, much of the population in Russia's Far East is Asian (Chinese, Korean), and the country may want to increase the size of cities there so that they don't lose their East Coast.
Check this out, things are jumping.
Thanks.
