I should write my own forecasts on Russia`s near future (2021–2030), by covering various aspects, such as political leadership, military, economy, etc. While the paper may be speculative, it should nevertheless justify key theses and assumptions with solid arguments. Could you please recommend me some topics about that? What could be the main questions that could help me with writing this speculative paper? Which factors should I mainly pay attention to? Would it be better if I referred to the present news, reports, or other official documents for supporting facts to justify my arguments and predictions? Your assistance in this regard is highly appreciated!
