    No colonial empire has ever
    desintegrated as stylishly as the former USSR did, and I have no pangs of conscience, even when thinking about the victims in Vilnius and Riga, when mentioning this.

    If the Soviets were not Russia imperialists, how can it be regarded as
    a colonial empire?

    Russia was occupied by The Soviet Union. The Soviet Union never wanted by more than 30% of Russians at all points after 1975. That is why going against China is more difficult if considered should be as such, because the population in China actually
    loves communism.

    Why are you here, also, Martin ?
