About the book: year / Summary of the first book: 2007, Crimea, declares sovereignty and separates from Ukraine. The organizer and initiator of the department is Russian mathematics professor Matvey Fedorov. To implement and finance his idea, he “sold” it, as a business plan, to a group of Russian “investors.” The formation of a new state seems to them to be a successful purchase of an “undervalued asset.” And the initiator - the creation of a Russian instrument for solving “slippery issues” in the upcoming world redistribution. After a successful “color” coup, Fedorov heads the “corporate” Crimea. Having invested the funds raised, he is modernizing the energy, production and transport potential of the peninsula. The new state takes on the role of a Russian offshore, production and transit site, pursuing a pro-Russian policy in the region, with the ultimate goal of giving the Russian Federation a strong “hold” in the Mediterranean. Crimea is experiencing an economic boom, the “investment” pays off many times over. In parallel with this, the global economic crisis is gaining strength: the United States is “pupating”, reducing its economic and military presence. The separatism of the Kurds and the “falling” economy leads to anarchy in Turkey and Turkish pirates appear in the Aegean, Black and Mediterranean seas after a two-hundred-year break. NATO and the European Union, having limited themselves to organizing an escort service for merchant ships, are withdrawing themselves from solving the Turkish crisis, since they are not ready to waste forces and resources that are dwindling in the conditions of the crisis. Taking advantage of the “fall in the value of Crimean assets,” Fedorov cheaply buys out the share of Russian investors. Having secretly supported one of the pirate clans, he enters into an agreement with the remnants of the Turkish authorities to lease the island of Imros in the Aegean Sea. Having created a military base in the Mediterranean together with the Russian Federation, Crimea begins to pursue a dual policy, trading and supplying pirates with weapons and, at the same time, fighting them. Having armed the Crimean population and made them “shareholders” of the corporate state, Fedorov successfully resolves the “Tatar issue” and repels the attempt of former “investors” to regain control of the Crimean project that “floated away,” but remained profitable. Having achieved his goals, Fedorov decides to retire. Meanwhile, with the help of Crimean weapons, Turkish pirates finally seize the initiative and achieve their first major success. Having captured the first European “convoy”, they paralyze maritime transport. Europe is under threat of complete economic collapse - one of the most important transport routes is blocked. A possible solution is that the occupation of Turkey by European forces threatens the EU with a social explosion and economic collapse. There is another option - to call on “new players” to the region to pacify Turkey and restore the safety of navigation. However, this choice means a partial loss of EU sovereignty. Four players - the EU, Russia, Türkiye and the new Crimea. Zugzwang... Control of the Mediterranean is at stake.... PS The book counts down time from the beginning of the Turkish crisis (tenths of the twenty-first century).
