1/ Russia is doomed unless it takes over not only Ukraine but also Armenia, Belarus, and Georgia, argues warblogger Alexei Zhivov. In a notable diatribe on Channel One Sebastopol, he declares that the West will tear Russia apart unless it 'reunites' its former empire
2/ Zhivov's rant is a fine example of the apocalypticism that appears to increasingly be prevalent among Russia's ultra-nationalist warbloggers, as they sense that the chances of victory in Ukraine are slipping away. (See below for another good example)
3/ Zhivov declares:

"They've declared war on us as a civilisation, and until they destroy us, until they've bitten us off in every piece, no one will stop! Come to your senses, come to your senses, and understand that the enemy has decided to crush us to the very end"
4/ "Guys, we're already caught in a vortex of events that will swirl for years and lead to irreversible changes throughout the world and in Russia
5/ "And if we don't unite this post-Soviet Russian-speaking core—Russian Armenians, Georgians, Russian Ukrainians, Belarusians—if we don't gather into a single civilisational centre and fight back, we'll be torn apart." /end
