In Russia top-down government management might not be a bad option today. Once they have a space program again, then maybe they will get private initiatives as a spinoff. But just leaving it to the (ex-Soviet!) “companies” won’t work very well. They don’t have many Elon Musks over there.

While there’s talk about future ambitions, and the Angara is indeed advancing, the Russians won’t do anything interesting in space until next decade. I don’t know if this is because of long-term restructuring, or just corruption of funding.

Set the IRS or some other administration controlled entity upon them and tie them up in court or have the threat of jail hanging over their head while they run for office.

Yep, politics is politics is politics, no matter where we find ourselves in the world.
