<b>Framework for Reviving Filip Orlik’s 1710 Constitution as a Governance Model for a Post-Russia Kievan Rus’</b>
The revival of Filip Orlik’s 1710 Constitution (“Pacta et Constitutiones Legum Libertatumque Exercitus Zaporoviensis”) aims to serve as a legal and ideological foundation for transforming a post-conflict Russia into a confederation or protectorate under the banner of a reborn Kievan Rus’, led by Ukraine and overseen by international institutions (e.g., NATO, EU, UN) and key global actors (e.g., U.S.A.). This framework seeks to:<b>Decolonize the Russian imperial narrative</b>: Reassert Kievan Rus’ as the true origin of East Slavic civilization, positioning Ukraine as its legitimate heir and dismantling Russia’s historical claims.<b>Subdue Russia to international control</b>: Establish a governance structure that prevents future aggression by placing Russia’s territories under a confederative model with international oversight.<b>Promote regional stability</b>: Create a cooperative framework involving Ukraine, Belarus, and potentially separatist Russian regions, ensuring peace through shared governance and democratic principles.
