The USSR was just a Russian empire that pretended to be some international socialist brotherhood. Imperialism is married to the Russian identity and that didnt stop just because the Bolsheviks killed the royal family.
What? Are you an idiot? The USSR had its flaw but it did keep nationalisms at bay. Once it collapsed people became fascists again. What’s not to understand? Murikans were perfectly happy opening mc Donalds while Easterners were starving
By the threat of killing you if you disagreed with the USSR’s directives. Plus those satellite countries were meant to provide a buffer to the USSR if another world war was triggered. Better to fight a war in someone else’s home rather than your own. A hard lesson learned from WW2.
Putin is pretty much trying to re-establish that buffer while pillaging his neighbors of their wealth. It doesn’t seem to be working well for him.
Are you dumb? Switching from an internationalist ideological block to a bunch of ethno-state caused war. It’s not that hard to grasp.
Same thing with Russia and Ukraine. Yeltsin was in Washington the day before the end of gorbatchev

Those were pretty good directives. Just have a look at Germany. Not even 25 years after you ban the stasi they’re back to being Nazi.
Some people just can’t help it, like the germans or all those british offshoot like the yanks
