A social media post on X, by the account EquaCoin, proposes that bringing Russia into the European Union could severely destabilize the country. The post uses Greece's experience with EU membership as a case study, arguing that the resulting austerity measures, structural reforms, and pressure for democratization could lead to economic collapse, political instability, and widespread social unrest in Russia. The author suggests this process could fundamentally alter or "destroy" Russia as it currently exists, highlighting potential consequences such as sovereignty loss and cultural clashes. The post concludes that Russia's unique political and economic structure makes it particularly vulnerable to such a scenario.
