THROWBACK: Jaishankar says India has never really had anything other than a positive experience with the Soviet Union and then with Russia "We actually had a 40-year period where the West was primarily arming Pakistan, and we turned to the Soviet Union as a military partner."

Polls show that 75% of the Russian population see the Soviet Union as the best period. But why do we often hear in the West that the Soviet Union was a bad period and that socialism failed there? Poll source: Levada Center

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.

Economist Prof. Richard Werner: "The European Union is modelled on the Soviet Union." "The Soviet Union claimed to be a democracy. Why? Well, it had a parliament. Ah, but the parliament had no power to actually come up with laws. All the laws were written, predetermined by the unelected Politburo." "That's exactly the setup they chose for the European Union."

There’s really only one reason why War Criminal Putin invaded Ukraine and it’s because he wants to recreate the Failed Soviet Union. It has nothing to do with NATO. Russia has had a border with NATO since 1949 called Norway. NATO ally Finland has an 830 mile border with Russia.

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.

☝️ “When the Soviet Union was created, its founding treaty stipulated the right of withdrawal. However, since no specific withdrawal procedure was prescribed, a question arises: if a republic joined the Soviet Union but had acquired a significant amount of traditional historical Russian lands, and then decided to secede, shouldn't it, at the very least, have left only with what it originally had, without taking these "gifts" from the Russian people?” - President Putin
