    Okay, I looked up a survey of some Russiansedgeworth-shrug

    According to the Levada Center, an independent pollster, most Russians have consistently regretted the dissolution of the USSR. In 2020, 60 percent of respondents expressed regret and 63 percent believed that the dissolution could have been avoided; 49 percent of those polled named “destruction of the USSR” among the twentieth-century events that evoked in them feelings of shame and sadness; and 75 percent believed that “the Soviet era was the best time in Russia’s national history, with a high level of prosperity and opportunities for ordinary citizens.”

    Huh, would you look at that

        It’s relevant in that you are still uncritically repeating the propaganda of the empire that did it, using terms you don’t understand from books you haven’t read, while being a dweeb to people who have. If it was 2002 you would be calling people Saddam-lovers for not believing the US government’s line of bullshit.

        the dissolution of the ussr was the biggest historic disaster in the past 50 years.

        Oh hey look everybody, the day has come when everyone was always against this

        Edited to be less demeaning

            as would most liberals if they actually read the material instead of having their misinformation reinforced by “respectable” sources like the new york times; or the guardian; etc.
