Pro-Soviet (no longer exist) ≠ pro modern Russia
Against continued war in Ukraine ≠ pro Russia
Okay. But that's worse. You do know that's worse, right?
How? The USSR was the greatest point in history for all it's member states.
Which is why they all voted to stay in the moment they got the right to vote on it. Right?
You say that like three random politicians from belarus, ukraine, and russia didn't just sign a paper one day and declared the ussr gone
or that 76% of the citizens voted to preserve the Soviet Union
77% to 22%, so… yeah. Not all of them, but a large majority.
