Details: Ukraine’s National Resistance Center stated that Volodin wrote in the letter that Russia needed transformation and measures that would strengthen it in the face of future challenges. In particular, he proposes the concept of "de-westernisation", which includes:

• increased nationalisation of the economy, with all raw material industries becoming state-owned;

• sovereigntisation of science, culture and art, and increasing the role of the state in their development;

• strengthening censorship, in particular on TV and the Internet;

• addressing the issue of opposition movements.
