Fiz > But Russia of NOW has very little to do with the Russia which was captured within the USSR.
The Russia of 'NOW' is being ran by a dictator named Putin with grandiose plans to re-constitute the 'Russian Empire'.

EVIL EMPIRE Vladimir Putin’s twisted dream of a new Russian empire stretching 10,000 miles encompassing Britain & Europe
Putin's dreams of a broader Eurasia go back far before the recent invasion of his neighbour and may point to the Russian president's next move.
. . .
In 1997, the Rasputin-like figure published his 600-page "The Foundations of Geopolitics".
Among his bizarre theories, Dugin signalled Russia's future relationship with Ukraine with chilling undertones of today's war.
Ukraine's very existence, he claimed, was a "huge danger to all of Eurasia".
For Russia to realise its true military might, it needed total military and political control of the north coast of the Black Sea.
Ukraine had to be reduced to just an "administrative sector" of Russia.
Dugin also argued that Russia's new enemy wasn't just Europe, but the entire "Atlantic" world led by the US.
. . . .
Dugin is likely delighted that Putin appears to have followed his advice.
The US appears more politically divided than it has in decades, while on both sides of the Brexit debate, the gap remains as wide as it's ever been.
Meanwhile, Germany has been slammed for its slow response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, down in no small part to its reliance on Moscow's natural resources.
