**************
Alina proposes a model like this for the phrase "??? ?????????? ? ????
??????????":

nonviolent population reduction...
------------------+++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------
(was possible)     (is now impossible) (will become possible again)

Do others agree that this is what it means?
********
I agree.
I'd translate it:
It is no longer possible (has ceased to be possible),
and for the time being will remain impossible.
