But Putin and his siloviki (political allies whose power base is in the security apparatus) seem to prefer an “inertia strategy,” the worst of the Russia 2020 scenarios. This strategy amounts to state capitalism, living on Russia’s energy wealth, and doing nothing to curtail Russia’s massive red tape and corruption.
但普京和他那些以俄安全部门为权力依托的政治盟友们（即所谓的“斯洛维奇”）似乎更偏好一个因循守旧的“惯性策略”，而这一策略将可能导致俄罗斯在2020年产生最坏的后果，其内容包括采取国家资本主义政策，一味依靠能源收入维持国家财政，并纵容俄内部大范围的官僚主义和腐败问题。
