..this essay was apparently written for a scenario where Russian armed forces had taken over Kyiv and subjugated the country...Which didn't actually happen. So, what did state news agency do? They deleted the article, as if the plan had never been published in the first place.

Новый мир рождается на наших глазах. Военная операция России на Украине открыла новую эпоху — причем сразу в трех измерениях.

So indeed, this was meant to toast a Greater Russia outcome that never happened. Here's the plan the author had - and apparently, was seen as endorseable by state media:

There's a Nazi here, and it ain't Ukraine.
