Russian living standards were comparable to the west under the USSR despite not having the plundered wealth of the global south to prop them up. Modern Russia's conditions are entirely due to its embrace of capitalism.
yeah, they plundered all the lands they were supposed to liberate from the russian empire instead
Plundered them by building schools and homes.
Russian chauvanism was an issue with the USSR, but you can't just pretend they were the same as their western counterparts who had entirely different social and economic pressures determining their actions.
I'm sure all those school and homes were really helpful in 1930s Ukraine. Oh, and can't forget Poland. And all the indigenous peoples in North Asia were really grateful at still being part of the empire.
The same as their western counterparts? Well, if we go by Nazi collaboration and ethnic cleansing levels, it was pretty damn close. If we go by history rewriting levels, Soviets did so much of it there are even people today that insist they were a net positive. Such as yourself.
He's delusional, take him to the infirmary! 😂
by the way, I know this will be sad for you to hear but the soviet union collapsed! I know I know, it's sad, only 30 years ago, too soon 🥲
You really need to work on your reading comprehension. The collapse of the USSR was a bad thing for every country involved. Have you seen modern Russia?
Have you seen the USSR?
The Holodomor,[a] also known as the Ukrainian famine,[8][9][b] was a massive man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians

Sounds fuckin amazing m8
They should show this to you kids still in school, this is a miracle of production, the humble supermarket, you don't think twice about it, but in the USSR this was considered incredible
Yeah I seen it, I seen it trying to take back Ukraine real hard and Ukraine telling the USSR to fuck right off we don't want your shitty little union, it sucked enough the first time around (see Holodomor)
