All right, here is Lukashenko tearing into Zelensky, which is hardly surprising. But the more interesting part is the comparison he makes. Listen carefully to how the president of Belarus talks about Gorbachev. Lukashenko compares Zelensky to a man who was celebrated as a hero in the West while...

Recently, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev used the language of decolonization, describing Azerbaijan as colonized by Russia in the 19th and the 20th century. "We were colonized in the 19th century and lived as a colony. Then, when the Soviet Union was established, we were not independent. We were part of the Soviet Union. A republic? Yes, but without any rights." I suppose each of the "republics" of the Soviet Union can say the same about themselves. The Soviet Union was a colonial Russian project, a reconstruction of the Russian Empire that declared the break from the Empire ideologically but used the imperial and colonial strategies and tactics to piece the state together.

Do you remember what started the Second World War? Why was it ok for the Soviet Union to invade Poland but not Germany? Because Karl Marx was jewish? And the Soviet Union at the time was under jewish influence? Why is it illegal to tell the truth about these people but not anyone else?

So this just happened. Lara Logan has just come back from a visit to Moscow. She was flown in for the Bolshoi, she appeared on RT, and she recorded a propaganda 'interview' with Kirill Dmitriev. After returning, she hosted Jim Simpson on her podcast. Simpson was explaining the Golitsyn thesis, which argues that the fall of the Soviet Union was a staged deception and that modern Russia is the continuation of the same Soviet system. He was laying this out in detail and making it clear he believes the Soviet structure never actually collapsed. That is the moment when Lara suddenly cut him off and replaced his point with her own narrative about a spiritually renewed and fundamentally different Russia. "But Jim, Russia today is not the same as it was before the collapse of the Soviet Union. I just came back from there and people all over were talking about God and faith. There’s a massive Christian revival taking place. The Russian Orthodox Church is having a huge revival." Now, See the attached tweet.

SNYDER: When I was growing up in '70s and '80s, existence of Soviet Union was as certain as anything could be in politics. People who predicted the end of Soviet Union were outcasts and outliers. And up to December 1991, it was American policy to try to preserve Soviet Union. So it's really striking that all that's solid really can melt into air. The things that seem like absolute bedrocks, or even axioms of political thought, can cease to exist. Breakup of Soviet Union also means that 1990s in Russia happened faster there than here. Time goes faster there than in US. That means that things that are going to happen in US start to happen faster there, such as political postmodernism or return of a certain kind of fascism or oligarchy. So the end of Soviet Union shows that things can come to an end, but it also shows some of the possibilities of 21st-century politics which we then wade into ourselves later on.

Finnish President Stubb: The DNA of Russia is still expansion and imperialism. The driver of Putin is Russkiy mir — Great Russia — which basically means one Russia, one language, one religion, and one leader. I think he still sees the collapse of the Soviet Union as a big travesty. Source: Washington Post Live

Imagine being a Ukrainian film director living in the Soviet Union. You were born in the 1930s. You grew up knowing exactly what the Holodomor was — not as a word in a history book, but as the shadow that hung over your family, your village, your entire childhood. You know the truth. You want to expose it. But you also know that under Soviet censorship, even whispering about collectivization, famine, or the crimes of the regime could destroy your career… or your life. And yet… some people still tried. In 1968, director Rollan Serhienko made the film “Білі хмари” (White Clouds) at the Dovzhenko Film Studio. On the surface, it’s a drama about a man returning to his dying father. But woven into its memories and imagery is something the Soviet censors hated: a quiet, unflinching confrontation with the horrors of collectivization, dekulakization, and the traumatic legacy of the Holodomor. Soviet censors immediately recognized the danger. They cut scenes, restricted distribution, and essentially buried the film because it was “ideologically incorrect.” Even the suggestion of Ukraine’s suffering was too much truth for the Soviet evil empire to tolerate. But the film survived. And today, “White Clouds” stands as a quiet act of artistic resistance. It's a reminder that even inside the machinery of censorship, there were Ukrainians who refused to let the truth die. Video: Довженко-Центр

Rudy Giuliani Predicts Mamdani's Government-Run Grocery Stores Will FAIL: 'That’s What Brought Down the Soviet Union' "Well, maybe people can remember the end of the Soviet Union. What brought it down? There was no food in the grocery stores. That's what brought it down." "You're going to get it for subsidized money. So subsidized money adds to how much more you have to tax and more Billionaires leave, as they should—The people that work pay the bills. You chase them out, you're going into bankruptcy and disaster."

Lithuania is a former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, not a "former Soviet state". Lithuania 🇱🇹was illegally occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. Despite Soviet claims, Lithuania never legally ceased to exist as a state. BBC News (World), please take note: The term "former Soviet state" is misleading because it implies voluntary inclusion in the USSR, whereas Lithuania's status was one of occupation and annexation.

Tim Robbins reveals what Romanians told him cancel culture reminds them of and it will make you rethink everything "I asked, what was the uptake on the vaccines in Romania? And they said something like 40%. I said, well, how do you explain that? And they said, well, you know, we lived under the Soviet Union for many years, so we know how to look like we comply when we're not complying." "And I said, what else reminds you of the Soviet Union? And they said, without a doubt, cancel culture." "Soviet Union used to keep files on all of us, right? So as long as you're a good party member, there wouldn't be a thing said. But once you stepped out of line, they brought out that old file. Now that affair with your secretary from 30 years ago is going to ruin your life. They're going to ruin your family. They're going to kill your career. And they're going to make a big public display of it to show other people to stay in line." "And they felt like cancel culture was basically operating in the same way as the Soviet Union did. And it was really interesting to see that perspective in Eastern Europe."

When Kaja Kallas, Zelensky & co. spin bedtime stories about Soviet Moscow as their eternal enemy, they skip the part about how their Soviet republics functioned as administrative units inside a single state and thrived within a shared economy. Russia was the donor, bankrolling every other republic inside the USSR – not exactly how an “occupier” behaves. Many of today’s loudest “victims” lived their best life back then: the Baltics were a showcase of prosperity, Georgia flourished, Armenia was heavily industrialized and subsidized, and Soviet Ukraine was a major industrial and agricultural hub integrated into union-wide markets. Funny how “occupation” looks like sponsorship – until the subsidies stop and the bills come due.

If WWII and the Cold War had really been about communism, the collapse of the Soviet Union should have ended the confrontation. Instead, the USSR disappeared, communism is gone, yet Russia remains the designated adversary. And, just like Stalin envisioned, Germany is gearing up to revenge for the defeat in WWII, only the role of the new Furher has been assigned to Zelensky.

The real impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union that shaped modern Russia🇷🇺: While the West gloated as the hammer and sickle was lowered from the Kremlin, what followed was unprecedented capitalist disaster. Male life expectancy collapsed from about 64 years to 57 years between 1990 and 1994. Around 2% of Russians lived below the poverty line in the late Soviet period. By the mid-1990s, around 30–35% of the population, roughly 45–50 million people, were living in poverty. GDP collapsed by around 40–45% between 1991-1998, a collapse worse than the US’ Great Depression. Industrial production fell by roughly 50%. Real wages fell by about 50% as workers went months without being paid. In 1992 alone, consumer prices rose by approximately 2500%, annihilating decades of savings built up by citizens during the Soviet Union. There were over 5 million excess deaths in the decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia’s fertility rate fell to around 1.16 children per woman by 1999, among the lowest in the world at the time. The collapse of the Soviet Union was an unmitigated humanitarian disaster.
