          American democracy is the medieval inquisition of the 21st century. Judge for yourself: All who lived before its appearance are lost in the gloom of soul doomed to eternal torment, all who do not agree to accept it - heretics, all who oppose its adoption are expected by the Crusades.

      Sorry, but Russia needs these five legs as an elephant in these countries. I would understand you if you said about Cuba, although Cuba doesn’t need Russia now either, after drawing closer to the United States. Or you have no where to spend money except how to merge them it is not clear where

        Money is needed to provide various "services", but not in order to risk your life. You can risk your life to save others, for the safety of your country, for the independence of your people. These factors should be the determining factor in an effective foreign policy.
        And of course, help should be provided, but it should be minimally sufficient at the political and humanitarian level.

    To undermine the situation in the country, it is enough to buy (blackmail) key players (oligarchs and big politicians), sponsor a "democratic election" by providing support in the media, the rest is a matter of technology, to make them work out their interests, either with a stick or a carrot.

    And also in the countries of Central Asia

    With Ukraine named before, Georgia and Moldova, everything seems to be clear. But Central Asia is a sore point. Given the border with Afghanistan and the Bay leaders there can be a lot of problems. At one time, the British actively helped the Basmachi, and Soviet Russia coped with it anyway. Maybe you need to draw something from the old experience?
