Problem here is that we may step into China's backyard as they might see it as a diplomatic overreach and will take it as a sign to freely penetrate Central Asia to weakn unity of CSTO just in case we ever trum hostile. China is friendly and is willing to respect our boundaries within a reason, but it's unlikely to give up on influence in N.Korea and allow it to fall under Russian security umbrella, not to mention this might spark tensions with S. Korea which has potential to be important economic partner.
Our strategy should be prudent and traditional. We shall offer substantional economic and energy benefits to N.Korea and pledge to mediate between them and USA if they agree to give up their Nuclear arsenal. Our goal shall be no less than complete drop of sanctions, but even without USA cooperation we can guarantee economic help in form of loans, energy and investments. As well as modernization effort (in cooperation with China).
Regionally we shall engage with S.Korea and Japan to get them to normalize their relations with N.Korea as much as possible in exchange for N.Korea giving up its Nuclear weapons program.
From the region itself we shall put emphasis on close cooperation with China and will try to draw them in as a third party to any treaty with N.Korea.
We should also seek to make an exception of N.Korea and get the Chinese to promise security guarantees together with us. Less aggressive N.Korea and more peaceful region are in China's interest and any security guarantees will be given together with Union State preventing any image of Chinese/Russian aggression, if anything our goal is present this as a cause of stopping nuclear proliferation to the USA, the West and to International community.
Basically goal is to work closely with China to get N.Korea to give up its nuclear program and give up the bombs. By doing this we can prevent N.Korea to play China and us against each other's, we are respecting Chinese interest in the region and are presenting this as a multilateral effort led by Union State and China. Security guarantees would alleviate concerns in N. Korea regarding their safety and given that it's coming primary from Union State and China it will be more believable and sustainable as these are the state's with wested interest in survival of N.Korea.
Other part of this goal, if China accept is to engage the region itself and mobilize it in support of this goal. If S.Korea and Japan can see the merit of this goal (and not having nukes directed at your cities is a merit), then we have better chance at convincing international community of our goal.
Third goal is to jointly pressure USA to sign five plus one deal and to agree to lift the sanctions (we don't really need security guarantees from them).
We should engage UN along the way.
Merit of this proposal is that it preserves status quo , Russia is returned to the scene as a player in East Asia, but it isn't at the expense of any power as we are approaching this multilateraly taking everyone's interests in account. China isn't endangered,or diminished , S.Korea and Japan are still safe and USA can still play a policeman in the region, just this time around without direct threat to its security.
If N.Korea, or China refuses, then we should simply mantain as normal relations as possible with N.Korea diplomatically and generally avoid passing USA sanctions in UN, or adopt them. We should do business as usual where possible.

Harvesting Prosperity: Russia's Agrarian Renaissance and Rural Resurgence
Harvesting Prosperity: Russia's Agrarian Renaissance and Rural Resurgence
In the vast expanse of Russia, a silent transformation is unfolding, rejuvenating the heartland and sowing the seeds of a new era. "Harvesting Prosperity" explores the intricate tapestry of Russia's agricultural renaissance and the concurrent revival of its rural regions. This comprehensive analysis delves into the interconnected dynamics of economic diversification, technological innovation, cultural enrichment, and sustainable development. As the nation embraces modernization, the fields of opportunity extend far beyond the furrows, shaping a resilient and vibrant future for both the countryside and the entire nation.
Economic Diversification and Regional Growth:
The modernization of agriculture contributes to economic diversification by fostering the growth of related industries. Agri-processing, food technology, and value-added agricultural products create new economic opportunities in rural regions. This diversification helps in reducing dependency on a single economic sector and promotes a more balanced regional growth across the country.
Education and Skill Development:
The modernization drive necessitates a skilled workforce adept in contemporary agricultural practices. Investments in education and skill development programs ensure that the rural populace is equipped to harness the benefits of modernized agriculture. This, in turn, addresses issues of unemployment and empowers individuals to actively contribute to the economic growth of their communities.
Environmental Conservation and Biodiversity Preservation:
Sustainable agricultural practices embedded in the modernization efforts prioritize environmental conservation. The promotion of organic farming, agroforestry, and eco-friendly initiatives safeguards biodiversity. By aligning agricultural practices with ecological health, Russia not only ensures long-term food security but also positions itself as a steward of the environment on the global stage.
Cultural Exchange and Rural Tourism:
The development of rural areas becomes a platform for cultural exchange and tourism. By showcasing the unique cultural heritage of different regions, Russia attracts both domestic and international tourists. This not only generates economic revenue but also fosters cross-cultural understanding, strengthening social ties and promoting a positive global image.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) Driving Growth:
The modernization agenda is further propelled by strategic collaborations between the government and private enterprises. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) play a pivotal role in financing and implementing large-scale projects. This collaborative approach ensures efficient resource utilization, accelerates development timelines, and brings together diverse expertise for comprehensive and sustainable outcomes.
Global Competitiveness in Agricultural Exports:
The modernized agricultural sector positioned Russia as a formidable player in global markets. Through a commitment to high-quality products, adherence to international standards, and competitive pricing, Russian agricultural exports gained prominence on the world stage. This not only strengthened the national economy by fostering a thriving export market but also established Russia as a reliable and influential contributor to global food security. The ability to meet stringent international quality benchmarks solidified Russia's standing as a trusted supplier, opening doors to new markets and forging strong diplomatic and economic ties with nations worldwide. The success in global agricultural competitiveness showcased Russia's capacity not just for self-sufficiency but also as a pivotal participant in sustaining the world's food supply.
Inclusive Growth and Social Equity:
Rural development and agricultural modernization are guided by principles of inclusive growth. Initiatives focus on ensuring that the benefits are distributed equitably, uplifting marginalized communities, and narrowing socio-economic disparities. This commitment to social equity contributes to a more harmonious and stable society.
Climate-Smart Agriculture as a Model:
The incorporation of climate-smart agricultural practices serves as a model for sustainable development. Russia's commitment to reducing carbon emissions, enhancing resource efficiency, and mitigating climate risks through agricultural innovation sets a precedent for responsible and forward-thinking governance.
Building Resilience in a Volatile Global Landscape:
Against the backdrop of global uncertainties, the interconnected strategy of modernizing agriculture and rural development enhances Russia's resilience. The ability to adapt to changing circumstances, coupled with diversified economic activities, positions the nation to navigate challenges with agility and fortitude.
In sum, the holistic approach to modernizing agriculture and developing rural areas in resurgent Russia weaves together economic prosperity, technological advancement, environmental stewardship, cultural preservation, and social equity. This multifaceted strategy not only ensures the nation's present well-being but lays a robust foundation for a sustainable and dynamic future.

1) say of the riots, "we condemn the murders and the riots, and we are taking measures to ensure such a tragedy will not take place again by dealing with the causes of tension" (the causes of tension being immigration). Those measures being that any foreigner who commits any crime on Russian soil is to be immediately deported to their native country (except those whose crimes are death penalty offenses, they will be executed). Reports of crime by foreigners must be seriously pursued by Russian police, and actually punished. No "hate speech" legislation punishing the Russian people for speaking up about the consequences of mass immigration. Our immigration policy should deliberately avoid replacing the Russian population with foreigners like Western governments are doing. I forget right now whether we implemented the 50k a year max qquota distributed by national origin as I recommended, but if not this would be an opportune moment to do so.

We should offer protection and make clear that the government will guarantee the rights of every Muslim currently living inside the Union State, at the same time as we tune down on the immigration coming from said areas. Reduce the quotas, increase border security and maybe even increase incentives for immigrants coming from Ukraine and the Balkans as a substitute.
If we don't do that, then these concerns are going to be exploited by our enemies in the same vein as similar concerns are exploited inside OTL USA to create division. If this is the type of reality we are going to face, then I agree with your guys on the Kazakhstan annexation.

Russia's Agricultural Renaissance and the Commodities Boom: A Global Geopolitical Lever
In the wake of its agricultural renaissance and the resounding success of the 2000s commodities boom, Russia not only experienced unprecedented economic growth but also strategically wielded its newfound prosperity as a geopolitical tool on the global stage. This transformative era marked a pivotal shift in Russia's role, transcending traditional economic realms and positioning the nation as a key player in shaping geopolitical dynamics.

Energy dominance, during this pivotal period, emerged as a cornerstone of Russia's geopolitical maneuvering. Leveraging its formidable energy assets, Russia deftly navigated the intricate web of international relations, employing its energy reserves as a powerful diplomatic lever.

Arrest those who committed actual crimes but avoid going to hard to give them more support and make us seem as tyrants.
As a whole thought we should try and support Central Asia and the Caucuses since the main reason anyone moves to Russia is due to the economic opportunity and better life when compared to those places. Making life better in the countries migrants come from will reduce the number of migrants in the long run as less will be willing to move to Russia.
I do feel that adding a mention of how the whole quota over how many non-Russian people live out there is controversial and is not fully possible since due to East Asian immigration some areas will simply have less Russians in them and forcing people to move is going to cause a major political concern over the rights of people and weather such a thing is even legal. Its one thing to say only Russians can live in one area its another when no Russian wants to live there or the migrants already make a majority and moving them might cause major economic damage as well.
I guess we can make an exception and then make it an issue where migrants who came during the 90s/early 00s are exempt from that rule while those coming in right now will have to follow the law which causes major disputes over the rationality of it.
Really I do find enforcing the whole quota over the amount of people living in an area hard to implement and enforce and might be considered a human rights violation by our own population and migrants.
Support them economically and try to further our economic situation with and try to get them to stop their nuclear production. However I honestly do not see North Korea ever stopping their attempts to gain nuclear weapons so simply opening them up economically to Russian, Chinese and South Korean economic investment should be enough. Also invest into North Korean resource extraction and other avenues of economic investment. Might try and write a bit on this if possible.

If we can really achieve this by means of cooperating with the Chinese, than it could work. A more constructive governed North Korea could contribute much more to the Axis of Resistance. The North Korean situation and it's literally 1984 status quo is basically free propaganda for the American Empire.
But at the same time, even considering the North Koreans still don't have nukes and that we would only be acting together with Beijing, we have to ask ourself the ultimate question: how much influence can we really expect to exert there?
The masses of North Korea have suffered under decades of brainwashing to worship this putrid family regime, if we don't elimine the Kims swiftly in the coup then we risk them retreating towards a stronghold to gather support. Most high-level officials are too scared to act against the family. If we are going to get rid of the Kims, then we should make a coordinate assassination plan against Kim Jong-Il, his sons and all the loyalists to prevent a civil war and guarantee a smooth power transition towards the reformists, otherwise we risk an escalation envolving South Korea and the US.
This seems very risky. Maybe the best moment to act would be when Kim Jong-Il dies and before Kim Jong-Un manages to consolidate his power.

This seems too risky to me. Removing Kim Jong-il is going to cause major destabilization issues and might lead to a massive wave of North Korean refugees which no one really wants, or even force us to directly invade which again no one wants. Really we should try to invest in North Korea and try to influence them but realize that there is little we can do with North Korea. If nothing else it keeps attention away form us and into them allowing us greater room to maneuver when Washington isn't looking.
I mean that is just as risky if not more so since by that point China would be a major economic power and will have a say on everything we do, and more importantly North Korea would have developed enough that doing so would be difficult if not impossible to do without massive repercussions. If anything we should be trying to woo the next leaders of North Korea to get a better deal with him.
I mean I do not really see anything actually happening in the end. The most I see is the US imposing sanctions and moving on since at this point the US would be more interested in the Middle East and in OTL not a lot came out of the confrontation as a whole until much later when North Korea got nukes.
1. Supporting the plan of @Matador de Lagartos for this, though we need to take a firm stand against lawlessness of the riots and the Red-Browns in this.
2. Supporting the plans of @Kriss for North Korea.
