Why would Russian citizens want to follow the path of Ukrainian citizens? To become more poor? To become a western stooge state?
Finally, there is nothing in this paragraph that is correct:
"But once Ukraine became better for just about everyone this did represent an existential threat to the Russian kleptocrats. Ukraine with a vibrant economy and prosperous people easily inspires Russians to follow their lead. Ukrainians don’t have to do anything but exist as happy, free and prosperous to represent a mortal peril to the Russian elites. So long as Ukrainians are better off than Russians the situation in Russia grows steadily more and more dire for the elites."
Nothing.
