I understand the party wanted to defend itself from foreign interference, something Ukraine was not able to do despite uniting with other eastern-european nations for defense. I see this as the main reason why we need socialist states before organizing the conditions for communism to happen.

How would you see such a large scale defense playing out in an anarchist society? I ask this with political interference, soft power and propaganda also in mind.

Would the USSR have survived for as long as it did if didnt have Ukraine as a "buffer zone" and a more centralized, hierarchical military? Are there anarchist answers to this?

Sorry, didn't study that stuff. I only have a birds-eye view of that era. I do know the anarchist critique of Lenin, though.

Can you elaborate on that critique?

Sorry, I'm afraid I personally can't. But I know an essay that can.
