It is also possible he is trying to recreate the Imperial Russian Empire as it was at an unknown particular point on the past. If yes, countries like Finland and Poland are on the reconquest list.
Do you guys ever have an independent opinion? Or you're just reading headlines of exceptionally jWestern media and blogs and transform their red herring statements into infopolluting questions?
Russia has never revived Her previous forms. We are not Great Britain which btw IS EMPIRE. But nobody seems to care. As well as nobody cares that UNITed States of America and the European UNION can create and destroy whatever unions they want. Let alone those UNs, NATOs and other genociders.
What's wrong with your "equality" and "democracy"? Are other countries not allowed to create their unions?
This mindless parroting a-la "Putin wants to revive the USSR-Russian Empire hybrid" only shows how hopelessly brainwashing your educational system and media are. They're planting fear in your minds and instead of enjoying your lives you're spending hours on feeding them back with what they exactly want - your fear.
Tens of millions of people lived in countries such as the USSR and Russian Empire. I'm sorry if someone implanted in your head some disinfo that very names of those countries had/have negative connotations and everything about them was/is wrong/bad. Even if Putin wanted it, what's your problem? It's our country after all.
P.S. for god's sake, Russians see "Russian" Polands and Finlands in their NIGHTMARES. Along with Baltics. No, thankie. Even I (who does have Polish and Fennoscandian roots) don't want these "countries" in our Federation.
I believe so. First of all, keep in mind that he used to work for the USSR. Anyway the signs of it are starting to show. He has been taking basic rights away from the Citizens like anything gay related, McDonalds and making it illegal for Americans to adopt Russian children. (Keep in mind America was the 1 most adoptions of Russian kids in the world.) In addition to this he has invaded Ukraine and supplying Pro-Russian Separatists all so he can have Ukraine back. These are all slow signs of his turn over to the USSR. Hopefully he will never succeed, but there isn't much we can do at the moment.
He is trying. He got Kazahstan and Belarus on treaties. He got Part of Georgia. He was doing a good job. But he really messed up with Ukraine.
Sure, he got Crimea, but now whole world is against him and Ukraine, which was part of Russia of 3 and half centuries, sees him as an Enemy.
Getting Crimea; he traded a Queen to get a bishop. He'll have to Work Really Hard to rebuild USSR.
I hope not.
No.
