Not colonial rule, and not the Russian Empire...
- sam_lowry_ 1y agoYou happen to be a Russian over 60, right?
- vintermann 1y agoNo, just someone who is not a jingoist for an Eastern European country. Though I'm sure Russian jingoists over 60 today too prefer to see Soviet-allied states as "their empire". It's no more true than saying Argentina was a US colony - which means yes, you could say it, but we'd all be dumber for thinking of it like that.
