I believe the mega-earthquake in Kamchatka provides a compelling answer to that question. This earthquake is a direct and unmistakable signal from the planet itself: seismic activity is intensifying, and at the epicenter of this process is the Siberian magma plume. It is becoming more active, setting new tectonic realities—and it is doing so with increasing force.
Moreover, I will state plainly: this will not be the last catastrophic event to strike Russia this year.
One can continue, for a little while longer, to pretend that “everything is going according to plan.” One can persist in reassuring the public and concealing the real mechanisms behind what is happening. But the scale of the changes ahead is so grand that even the most comfortable strategies of silence will soon fail.
Because when the ground itself begins to shake beneath your feet, no “statement from Vinogradov” or declarations from any other so-called “heavyweights” of the Russian Academy of Sciences will be of any help.
