> seems to want to put the USSR back together and I can’t see that stopping anytime soon The USSR is dead and gone and no one in power in Russia wants it back, save for pensioners who had a better deal back then. Putin wants the Russian Empire back, which held Poland, the Ukraine, most of the Baltics, etc. Why be a Premier when you can be a Tzar?
