From the first onto the third place in the list of great space powers. An essay.
We have proposed a classification of space powers (The original classification of states based on the usage of space technologies). Does this classification have a practical value?
We had put forward the idea that Russia has moved from first to third place in the list of great space powers.
Any useful concept makes the analysis of reality more effective, allows researchers to make realistic predictions.
If indeed Russia has moved from first to third place in the list of great space powers, then it is clear that this is an unfavorable event. Such event will entail negative consequences.
At this point, it is natural to start the analysis and to start making forecasts.
However, reality outruns, overtakes intention.
For a long time, NASA bought places for astronauts on the Soyuz spacecraft - for the delivery of astronauts to the ISS.
'NASA has asked Roscosmos for places for astronauts on Soyuz spacecraft in 2020 and 2021
12:41 31.10.2019 MOSCOW, October 31 [2019] - RIA Novosti. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration has requested additional places for astronauts on the Soyuz spacecraft from Roscosmos for its astronauts in 2020 and 2021 ...
Russian Soyuz has been delivering all [witout exception] ISS crew members since 2011, when the American reusable manned Space Shuttle system was decommissioned. (...) ". (https://ria.ru/20191031/1560432296.html) [unofficial translation]
For these places for astronauts, the United States paid very a significant (for the Russial space industry) sums. The order of the numbers (although it is not explicitly stated how much Russia will receive) is clear from the following information:
"In total, it is proposed to budget $ 1.8 billion to send astronauts, as well as cargo to the ISS in the 2021 fiscal year. Of these funds, NASA intends to spend $ 99 million on the American commercial flight program Boeing and SpaceX." (https://tass.ru/kosmos/7729885) [unofficial translation]
The Russial Internet is extremely laconic regarding the specific amounts of money Russia receives from NASA for places for astronauts on the Soyuz (why is this so? and who and when created the Soyuz spacecraft? who and when receives money from NASA for what was created by their predecessors?).
Nevertheless, a some information appears: 'now NASA pays Roscosmos somewhere about $ 85 million for one place for astronaut' (https://hightech.plus/2020/03/06/spacex-zabiraet-u-roskosmosa-biznes-po -dostavke-turistov-na-mks) [unofficial translation]

NASA acquires 12 places for astronauts on Soyuz spacecraft to deliver astronauts to the ISS
Washington. March 15 [2011]. INTERFAX.RU - The US National Aerospace Agency on Monday announced the contract with Roscosmos for the purchase for $ 753 million of twelve places for astronauts on Russian manned spacecraft Soyuz for the delivery of astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) and return from it in the period from 2014 to June 2016." (https://www.interfax.ru/business/181285) [unofficial translation]
One of signs of a shift from first to third place is the creation of the Dragon (Crew Dragon) spacecraft (by SpaceX), capable of delivering astronauts to the ISS. So far, only a few Dragon (Crew Dragon) flights have been made. Dozens of trouble-free flights are needed to confidently evaluate this project.
However, already now, allocations for the purchase of places for astronauts on the Soyuz spacecraft have disappeared from NASA's budget documents. Now, apparently, if the flights will be carried out, then on the principles of exchange. Russial cosmonauts can fly in Dragon (Crew Dragon) spacecraft, and NASA astronauts in Soyuz spacecraft.
'WASHINGTON, May 28 [2021]. / TASS /. The budget request of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for fiscal 2022 does not provide for the purchase of seats on Russian Soyuz spacecraft, but cooperation in the field of space flights will continue on the principle of mutual exchange of places [for members of crew] on Russial and American spacecraft.

In general, both the classification and the idea of moving from first to third place show their connection with reality and their practicality.
In general, all our conceptual developments, in particular:
1) an original concept for the development of recreational areas within walking distance from the place of residence ("Affordable free rest in pedestrian accessibility for any resident of any settlement of Russia") ([MDXLIII.] A catastrophic climate incident in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and a new approach to recreational and urban policy. The essay. - July 5, 2020, [MMСLXXIII.] Geysers of new breakthrough ideas. An essay. - May 21, 2021, and other miniatures on this topic),
2) the original historical concept "East-Republican Space Project and the Russial (Soviet) intelligentsia",
3) the original classification of states (countries) based on the usage of space technologies
are showing their relevance and practicality.
