Hot take, if we can somehow get NATO to collapse/expel Turkey/leave NATO, we can revive the age-old Russian dream of taking the straits, and most importantly, liberate Tsargrad from the Turks.

I believe South Stream is a thing ITTL and it should go through Bulgaria, project was also planned to go through Greece and then to Italy.
Great then if south stream happen in ITTL it would allow Russia to easier convince Greece to have a join program in building the canal
Yes, South Stream is fully operational. Can you give me more info about this canal?
It's basically a plan to connect two rivers in the region, Morava and Vadar and expand them somewhat costing around 17 bil. There's basically a Chinese backing to the proposal but i believe problem is a lack of agreement between EU and three countries that are involved. Here's the link to the Wiki page.

Nice, to further elaborate on the idea. While this seems like it doesn't bring much benefit to Russia it actually does.
It increases it's influence in the Balkans, especially in involved countries, it weakness Türkiye geopoliticaly and it gives Russia control over important trade route especially through Yugoslavia which it basically controls as it's population is quite Russophilic and Yugoslavia needs Russia to keep control over Kosovo.
Other benefits are that Russia can use this new route in case of Türkiye trying to close, or change arrangements in regards to the straits, could potentially bring in Macedonia in EEU/CIS/CSTO through this project and could generally arrange for owning part of the canal as an investor.
In regards to financing? Honestly i don't think Russia needs to wait on EU, it could get China on board relatively easy.
I would say quite good, with a steady rise in living standarts and economic development thanks to trade with EAEU AND EU, though they have problem with high emigration to Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Russia.
Ah ok, at least they're doing better but it's not surprising with emigration though.

1. Please write down, how Russian Moon landing should be handled - alone or in cooperation with countries like Ukraine, China and India?
I'll add my agreement to the plans of @Empress_Boogalaboo and @Gaúcho Maldito.
2. Should Russia continue to participate in the International Space Station (ISS) or build its own space station?
A) We should continue to participate in the ISS,
3. Please write down how should presence of de-facto Russian puppet state of Moldova in EU and NATO be utilized by Moscow?
I'll add my agreement to @TheImperialTheorist and @focus9912.

The Eurasian Transport Corridors
The Eurasian Transport Corridors initiative is a comprehensive infrastructure project aimed at enhancing connectivity and facilitating trade and transportation across the Eurasian continent. This ambitious endeavor seeks to establish efficient and modern transportation routes that link the economies of Europe and Asia, spanning vast distances and diverse landscapes. At its core, the Eurasian Transport Corridors project encompasses the development of multimodal transport networks, including road, rail, air, and maritime routes. These corridors serve as vital arteries of commerce, enabling the seamless movement of goods, people, and resources between regions. By integrating various modes of transportation, the initiative offers flexibility, efficiency, and reliability in meeting the diverse needs of trade and logistics. One of the key components of the Eurasian Transport Corridors is the modernization and expansion of existing infrastructure, such as highways, railways, ports, and airports. This involves upgrading outdated facilities, constructing new transportation hubs, and implementing advanced technologies to streamline operations and improve safety and efficiency. By investing in infrastructure development, the project aims to reduce transit times, lower transportation costs, and enhance overall connectivity across Eurasia. Furthermore, the Eurasian Transport Corridors initiative seeks to foster international cooperation and collaboration among participating countries. Through partnerships and agreements, nations along the transport routes work together to harmonize regulations, standardize procedures, and facilitate cross-border trade and transit. This cooperative approach promotes regional integration, strengthens economic ties, and fosters mutual prosperity. The strategic location of the Eurasian Transport Corridors provides a gateway between Europe and Asia, offering significant geopolitical and economic advantages. As a key transit route for trade between the two continents, the initiative promotes economic growth, investment, and development along the transport corridors. It also enhances regional stability and security by promoting peaceful cooperation and engagement among neighboring countries.
Advanced Nuclear Energy Projects
Advanced nuclear energy projects encompass a broad range of innovative technologies and initiatives aimed at revolutionizing the nuclear power sector to meet the growing global demand for clean, reliable, and sustainable energy. These projects leverage cutting-edge research, engineering, and design concepts to develop next-generation nuclear reactors and associated systems that offer improved safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional nuclear power plants. One of the key focuses of advanced nuclear energy projects is the development of advanced reactor designs that depart from traditional light water reactors (LWRs). These advanced reactor concepts include technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs), fast neutron reactors (FNRs), molten salt reactors (MSRs), and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), among others. Each of these designs offers unique advantages in terms of safety, fuel efficiency, waste management, and proliferation resistance.n Small modular reactors (SMRs) are compact, scalable nuclear reactors that can be manufactured in factories and transported to remote or off-grid locations. These reactors offer enhanced safety features, reduced construction costs, and shorter deployment timelines compared to traditional large-scale reactors. SMRs are well-suited for applications such as distributed power generation, desalination, and industrial process heat. Fast neutron reactors (FNRs) utilize high-energy neutrons to sustain nuclear fission reactions, allowing for efficient use of nuclear fuel and the transmutation of long-lived radioactive waste into shorter-lived isotopes. These reactors offer the potential to significantly reduce the volume and radiotoxicity of nuclear waste while extracting additional energy from spent nuclear fuel. FNRs also have inherent safety features that mitigate the risk of core meltdown accidents.
Molten salt reactors (MSRs) use liquid fluoride or chloride salts as both the coolant and the fuel medium, offering inherent safety advantages and improved thermal efficiency compared to traditional water-cooled reactors. MSRs can operate at higher temperatures, enabling efficient electricity generation as well as the production of hydrogen for use in fuel cells or industrial processes. Additionally, MSRs have the potential to consume a wide range of nuclear fuels, including thorium, which is more abundant than uranium. High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) employ helium as the coolant and graphite as the moderator, allowing for operation at very high temperatures. HTGRs are well-suited for applications such as process heat for industrial processes, hydrogen production through thermochemical water splitting, and district heating. These reactors offer excellent safety characteristics, high thermal efficiency, and resistance to proliferation due to the inherent properties of their fuel and coolant. In addition to advanced reactor designs, advanced nuclear energy projects also focus on innovations in fuel cycle technologies, materials science, digital instrumentation and control systems, and advanced manufacturing techniques. These advancements aim to enhance the overall performance, reliability, and safety of nuclear power plants while reducing their environmental footprint and lifecycle costs.

Honestly i feel like Lukashenko/Medvedev have just continued/stolen Nabiullina's policies and have put their name on them.
I'll so vote for her if she's candidate in next elections. I also want a female president as Russia didn't have female leader since Catherine the Great. Not to mention she is fairly competent, is peaceful enough with steady hand to guide Russian politics.
