@0816M3RC The USSR was led by Russia? Really? Stalin was Russian? Are you kidding me? Kruschov was Russian? Pull the other one! It has bells on it!

Russia did not exist in 1968. Do you mean USSR?

@woodsmaneh952 it didn't. You tell me, did Russia invade Czecholovakia, or did USSR? You probably confuse England with Great Britain too. Think you might need to read a bit deeper.

God bless Donbass and its ethnic Russians and their militia

@unwarym1190 USSR citizens were only called "Russians" by the ignorant. How can a Soviet citizen from Uzbekistan be called a Russian? Or a Soviet citizen from Ukraine be called a Russian? They were indeed Soviets.

@diomuda7903 You agree with me. It was called USSR, comprised of 15 different "republics". The capital of the USSR was called Moscow, you are correct again! Moscow was the capital of all the Soviet citizens. I don't have to guess that. I know it! Any more questions?

@woodsmaneh952 I'll help you out here. There was no leading republic in the USSR. All 15 were of equal standing. The RSFSR was the largest of those republics, just like Alaska is the largest state in USA. So, what's your point? That Alaska and not USA invaded Iraq and Afghanistan?

@woodsmaneh952 talking of leading the USSR, it was a person who led the USSR, not a particular republic, so perhaps you would consider the Georgian, Stalin, as leader of USSR. or maybe Kruschov, from Ukraine? Nice try tho

@woodsmaneh952 Correction: it was Brezhnev who was the Soviet leader and from Ukraine. Kruschov was Ukrainian in that he lived and worked in the Donbass but was actually born about 10kms from Ukraine. Still, both were Soviet leaders with a much stronger connection to Ukraine than to any of the other 15 Soviet republics.

@TheInfidel_SlavaUA same would go for England in relation to British history, so what's your point? Which country went to recapture the Falkland Islands? England or Great Britain?

@diomuda7903 The official language of Australia is English. Does that mean that England is Australia? Of course not. The official language of USSR was Russian. Does that mean that Russia was USSR? Of course not

@0816M3RC the official language of the UK is English. the people of the UK are mostly English and the capital of the UK is the same as the capital of England. So, in other words, the UK is led by England. No, only a fool would say that. The UK is led by Parliament with a Prime Minister as the head of the government and a monarch, a British monarch, as head of state. you are getting confused by the word "lead".

@0816M3RC it makes perfect sense, because as with the USA, the USSR had no dominant state government (all 15 republics of the USSR were equally subsumed under the power of the Soviet government), As with USA, in the USSR all 15 republics were equal under the federal government (equally as insignificant, as all power rested with the Soviets, the Politburo, the apparatchiks). The capital of the USSR wasn't even a state NOR a district! Just a city! so what's your point?

@0816M3RC No. Great Britain went on the Falklands mission. Not one single person in the UK would have said that England went on that mission. Just try going into any pub in Scotland or Wales and shout out "Rngland leads the UK" and see who agrees with you. You have no idea what the word "lead" means in a political context, and you need to do some more learning. Russia is responsible for any war crimes committed by Russia. USSR is responsible for any war crimes committed by USSR. Even a child could understand such a concept and yet you fail to. You are simply a deluded ignorant russophobe. Hope you get a sense of decency one day. good bye.

@0816M3RC try "capital" instead of "capitol" once you have learnt the difference you might be qualified to talk about such matters

you think some of them will still be alive?
