It is fascinating to see the attempt to make a distinction between Russia and the Soviet Union. They were always one and the same. Moscow ruled “the Soviet Union” and the eastern block nations were nothing but subjects to Russia.
Moscow has always called the shots.
I also appreciate the “history” lessons which incorporate “recentism” in heavy doses. Recentism- a condition where one only goes far enough back in history to justify their position.
While we are talking about invasions of France , England or Russia let’s bring in the moguls, Romans, Muslims, Persians, Egyptians, Gauls , and Vikings….., all very interesting historical periods, but not really relevant to today.
