It's a meme (in Russian 'leftist' social media) quote from a speech by Putin in Feb 22 right before he invaded. About how Ukraine is a fake country created by the foolish utopian Bolsheviks who used declarations of self determination as empty slogans to gain initial support. And then Stalin built a normal centralized state but didn't bother changing the utopian "confederative" wording.
So now Putin is forced to fix Stalin's mistake, put Ukraine through decommunisation and go back (presumably to how it was in the Russian empire) before all this communist nonsense.
Here's the full speech if you're interested https://web.archive.org/web/20220224052445/http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67828
They should call it the UwUSSR
The SOwOviet UwUnion
🤣
"Very credible source in Ukraine": An alcoholised banderite mid-level official spewing deranged conspiracy theories.
Nah double check the OPs profile, it's definitely their Ukrainian friend who's in the same Disco Elysium discord server as they are
That sounds like the most credible person in the administration.
Unfortunately, even if it was the case, the only thing in common with the former USSR would be geographical IMO. I don't think it would even be close to socialism. Any thoughts on this? If there actually was a possibility of establishing a real socialist state in the former USSR, who do you think would lead the change?
I don't think there's a chance of actual socialism in the near term, but it is worth noting that USSR is regarded as a time when Russia was a superpower. Lots of people who lived during Soviet times are still alive and overwhelmingly speak positively of it. So, there isn't a comparable level of anti-communist propaganda that there is in the west. And, now that Russia is being pushed into China's orbit we'll necessarily see influence from Chinese system in Russia. A lot of people are looking at China and realizing that this could've been them if different decisions were made in the 90s.
On top of that, Russian economy is already organized in a similar fashion to Chinese economy. State owned enterprise accounts for around half the economy, and government tends to exercise direction over private enterprise as well. I'd argue this creates more favorable conditions for transition to socialism than what we see in the west.
So, I definitely think there is a very real possibility of Russia transitioning to becoming a socialist state that's modelled on China in the long run.
Iirc there were reports of Russian citizens identifying more and more with the USSR in recent years
One can dream...
It’s for a variety of reasons, some good some bad. Some look back with nostalgia for better times. Others view it in a nationalistic fascist way that the Soviet Union was stronger and “more pure”. Some view the Soviet Union as free from drug abuse, crime, LGBT people, and foreigners. Some want a return to a system that actively benefited the people. Some see the errors of capitalism. Some want Russia itself to be big again and occupy/annex the former Soviet territories for their resources. Some want military might that they associate with the Soviet Union.
Etc.
That’s nice, they still got Red Square, right?
The only thing scarier to Amerikkkans than the CCP: CCCP2

I've seen this shit since the beginning of the war
I only accept if the name of the country is actually and officially "USSR 2". Not even "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 2". I want it in that exact form.
I don’t see how this is likely considering who runs Russia currently. Unless he’s been some amazing undercover agent/great actor this whole time I highly doubt Russia will turn left anytime soon. Can he be converted? Who knows but I’m not getting my hopes up (not a doomer, just that we still have work rather than sitting back and waiting).
I have become so used to capitalism that I briefly thought Russia+ was some new streaming platform. Which probably seems more likely than this, sadly.
