Having grown up in the USSR (not that this fact necessarily gives me any special points in this discussion), I simply look at it like this: a lot more nationalities contributed to accomplishments and failures of the USSR than Russians. For example, it's not just the Russians that helped defeat Germany in WWII, and it's not just the Russians that made Chernobyl (in Ukraine, BTW) the disaster that it became.
