Because it was the matter of survival and existence of Russia as the nation in the WW2? Amazing things happen when you are under attack.
What are the same threats to Russia today? They are under no threats from the outside. Simple as that. The issue is that they’ve become increasingly irrelevant. They may work to become a modern economy. Russia is full of educated people, with a proud culture. Or they may rely on their past glory, expanding their empire by interfering with their neighbors. They’ve chosen the latter.

Simple as that.” No way that would be the case. Alarm bells and missiles would be flying over such a move. Why do people not understand this as an equally alarming concern to Russia?
- eveningcoffee 4y agoYou are here missing only one very simple but important fact. Russia nor China are not superpowers. China may become one soon but it is not yet. Russia can be as concerned as it likes to be but if it steps over the line, it will get its ass handled back to it.
- cudgy 4y agoRussia has more nukes than any country in the world. That alone makes them a power to be reckoned with regardless of whether they are a super power by anyone’s definition.
