      There’s absolutely a trend/coordinated effort among the global right wing to basically turn every country into Russia, strong dictator, highly nationalistic, one religion forced on everybody, and much much more. It’s happening in America, Europe, Canada, and all of their media and influencers are working together to push the same “values” on everyone, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, racist, and anti-intellectual, anything “woke”.

      It’s time for us to unite globally against the Right wing and their allies, that’s the real world war we’re going to have to go through in order to stop them from holding us back and to fix this world’s problems.

        I don’t think so. I don’t even think Russia wants to be Russia right now. They want to be the USSR. They want to be powerful and feared. There are some people that might want to become what they thought Russia was a few years ago, but Russia right now? Russia is getting their shit pushed in by Ukraine and falling out of windows right now. Russia is weak. There is no future for a country down the path Putin chose.

          None of that makes DeSantis and Trump and co. Simp Putin any less, the same with Marine LePen in France and various others.

          You are almost correct. But Putin doesn’t want Russia to be USSR, he wants to be in power entire his life and after death. He wants personal autocracy or dictatorship where KGB helps keep him and his oligarchs in power. Even war he started is a mean to throw a wall on people’s heads.

          People who want Russia to be USSR do it not because they want to be “powerful and feared”, but because in USSR there was decent healthcare outside of Moscow, school near their home wasn’t closed by Sobyanin and there was no war with Ukraine. Because in USSR there was “peace to world” instead of “we will turn world to radioactive ash”(AFAIR Kiselev’s quote, Putin’s propagandist), “glory to science and production” instead of warmongering and destruction.

            You are almost correct. But Putin doesn’t want Russia to be USSR,

            He wants rule the countries that used to be part of the USSR. He wants them to be part of Russia. He wants Russia to be a serious military threat to the rest of the planet like the USSR was.

            he wants to be in power entire his life and after death.

            Putin wants to achieve what Stalin did and surpass him in terms of having a stranglehold on power in Russia.

            People who want Russia to be USSR do it not because they want to be “powerful and feared” but because in USSR there was decent healthcare outside of Moscow

            In some places. In other places they tested nuclear bombs in your backyard, and you were totally fucked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semipalatinsk_Test_Site#Health_impacts

            I did not mean that Putin wants the standard of living in Russia to be like it was under the USSR. I meant that Putin wants Russia to have the presence that the USSR had on the international stage and corresponding respect.

              You are telling me how he wants to be perceived, not who he is - old KGB dictator who forgot to take his medications. The only things he competing in with Stalin: cult of personality and political assasinations.

              Interesting article…

              exposed to the fallout between 1949 and 1956

              1956 is 3 years after Stalin’s death.
