Of course, when the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus
declared the USSR defunct, they had absolutely no earthly idea
of what would happen next.

What were those four million Soviet soldiers going to do
without a job? And what to do with all those nuclear missiles?
Somebody had to keep track of where they were, and what to do
with them.

And what about the Soviet astronaut who was on the space station with no country to bring him home to earth?

Hello Dale,

Of course, when the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus
declared the USSR defunct, they had absolutely no earthly idea
of what would happen next.

What were those four million Soviet soldiers going to do
without a job? And what to do with all those nuclear missiles?
Somebody had to keep track of where they were, and what to do
with them.

And what about the Soviet astronaut who was on the space station with no country to bring him home to earth?

He was in checkmate.
Kind of like Bobby Fischer was at an airport in Japan.
