The Union of the Republics of Soviet Socialists, The URSS, No...
Bah, I can't think of any more, What Putin Should do is create and Alliance with the Eastern European Countries, a Pact of some Sort.

Yes, I remember the Commissar who told me that the USSR had a Constitution ‘just like the US’ has. But then, he also confided in me that the Soviets had composed film clips juxtaposing the music and lyrics of Louis Armstrong’s song What a Wonderful World to old film clips of American race wars, whites beating blacks with batons, crosses burning on lawns and klansman holding rallys etc. - just to ‘help’ their people and the rest of the world understand what the US really stood for,’cherished’. Hey they really were just like...the Left in the US, huh?
