We could also experiment with Pykrete as a cheaper building material in the Arctic since we are not going to have to worry about it melting. If nothing else we could use it to build temporary shelters until more robust buildings are created and we can still use it to protect any buildings we build.

Given tensions with Yugoslavia we don't really have a lot of influence in Albania, so goal is mostly to create rivalry between Turkey and EU for Albania and work together to push out European influence.
But this hardly means that we will waver in our security commitments to Yugoslavia in Kosovo and Balkans are more, or less positioned as a transit zone between Europe and Asia so economic relations with Turkey are necessary for economic development of the region.
As for losing influence? Turkey is historic rival from past century, in case of Yugoslavia its rivals are to the West and in case of Bulgaria? We still won't allow Turkey to interfere in Bulgarian internal affairs and will still invest in it economically and militarily.
In regards to Greece? They get similar treatment and we aren't making any special dedications against Greece.
That's understandable, that's why i said some military hardware.

Seems more likely that Western Europe will pick Turkey every time due to their strategic position so honestly all this is doing is strenthening NATO/EU/Western world.
Okay, then we can forget that. Just investment and working together in Bosnia. Though given that Bosnia is a Confederation in this TL maybe that isn't necessary as well as we can just achieve our goals there by working with Yugoslavia/Serbs.
Yeah at this point just working with the Serbs would be the best although I guess we can make it so Bosnia becomes an economic colony of Russia by influencing the Serbians in the nation. Of course we should avoid pushing to much of a pro-Serbian message and at least get them to no longer consider taking land since its likely to cause Bosnia to split apart. Plus this way we can at least influence Croatia due to the Croat population in Bosnia assuming they all did not just move to Croatia after the war.
Honestly i just tought that it's nice deal to have cooperation with Turkey in regards to Bosnia but in all honesty its quite likely that country will just split apart as its already pretty decentralized on top of its parts not agreeing on anything.
Serbs probably want to go in CSTO/EEU/CIS while Croats and Bosnians want to go in EU/NATO.
Even if they are one country on paper by the nature of being Confederation both parts have some level of sovereignty and little that binds them.

I sorta disagree since a lot of our culture is going to be influenced by the previous Soviet period. Plus the reality is that most of our initial output is going to be subpar since every other nation that has tried to do this has had similar subpar work. Russia is unlikely to be any different and if anything we simply do not have the cultural power that other more established nations and entertainment industries have. Copying and letting other works influence us is the most we can do outside of some niche works since honestly Russian culture is not exactly a revelation when compared to other European culture or nations.
Plus the biggest problem is that everything else is both better and cheaper than our work. Why make our own animation when we can translate Japanese Anime or American cartoons? That is why I say we should copy the anime since not only will we have an easier time penetrating the Japanese market but also the international market as anime becomes more popular. This also includes film since Hollywood and the European film industry has us beat in terms of mass market appeal.

We own the biggest share of the Artic coastline, so we should avoid turning this into a worldy multilateral affair. The Scramble for the Artic should be taken as a deal between the United States, Canada, Russia, Norway and Denmark, period. In regard to Greenland, I argue we should look towards supporting Danish authority over the insland, as an independent Greenland would inherently be linked towards North American economic activity, while Denmark is more within our economic area of influence, because our Baltic Sea shipping passes through the Danish Straits, so they have more reasons to have a good relationship with us.
Let's keep the Chinese and the Japanese out of it. If China wants a stake in the Artic, they should have it through us, and not around us.

In regards to Ukraine, while i agree that there is emigration to Russia i don't think that their population is leaving for the rest of Europe. Honestly given that they still remained part of former Soviet economic space and have access to cheaper resources, plus they are more, or less first in line to profit from Russian growth as Russia doesn't have as thight regulations on capital flow for EEU/CIS countries. So i believe that they should have quite decent living standards given that their economy is nearing to 1 billion, not to mention they grew economically alongside Russia and their living standards weren't that much different from Russia in USSR.
In regards to emigration, while population is lost they should generally still be able to attract population from Romania, Moldavia, maybe Central Asia and third countries.
Remember Ukraine is little below of 1/3 of Russian population and has almost 1/3 of Russian GDP. They shouldn't be that dramatically below us in terms of living standards.
Yea these seem fine, also man we already overtook UK and France and Ukraine is in G20.
