Arguably the absolute worst aspects of it are preserved under the state that exists there today. There's certainly a solid through-line through Putin himself.
- pqtyw 1y agoIs it? Putin's regime seems like a mostly generic pseudo-fascist dictatorship, except that they have nukes and stuff which they inherited from the USSR. > absolute worst aspects of it are preserved While it's obviously horrible, lets not downplay what the USSR was. Even as late as the 80s when they were pretty much exterminating entire towns and villages in Afghanistan. Of course there are tactical and strategical reasons why they can't do something close in scale to that in Ukraine.
