No, merely defending ethnically mixed but politically pro-Russian communities that are being attacked in response to their attempt at self-determination.

That basically was political agenda behind descision to get Russia involved in WWI a hundred years ago.

Heh, that could make for an interesting sci-fi setting: The political leaders are shunned and separated from the general population, but still are the most powerful folks around. A strong cultural disdain for power-seeking could serve as a justification.

I would argue that alienating politicians from those who put them into their jobs and whose interests they are supposed to represent sounds like a stupid premise to build a society on and how that could possibly work and how did it come to this in the first place.
So these are a couple of points I would like to see addressed in that fiction piece.

How about everyone hating the politicians, but seeing them as an essential component of a society that does not want a return of the Rex.

Reminds me of The Last Continent. The not-Aussies putting their politicians in jail as soon as they're elected, to save time.
