Seriously: it does not explain Greece , does not explain the rest of the Slavic world, does not explain how the current authoritarianism looks like - very similar to China's state capitalism - the resistance of great part population to capitalism and hence Gulags of many nations

Just to begin with, nothing looks like China unless it's been growing at double digits for three decades.

The model of governance is the same and the concept of capitalism too (I don't know much about China but I have read enough) although the success is not the same - we are in the EU or EU candidates, and the countries serve as pools of cheap labor for the rest of the continent

I don't think the model of governance is the same, beside considerable shared skepticism of Western styles of democracy.

Ok, not the same. Let's say the role of the (authoritarian) state is very similar

They have begun this project Belt and Road 16 for Eastern Europe (although some of it is "Central" or Northern) and are seriously competing with the EU here. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Belt-and-Road is a case in point, though. Is there anything remotely like a Russian analog for this sort of project?

... The Russians want their government to protect them against global capitalism. The Chinese want their government to make it Chinese.
