While I was just a baby when the USSR collapsed, it's amazing to hear how these people frame it. As a child, I remember my father (a US Naval officer) teaching me about the Cold War and how it developed. He (and everyone else) was very happy FOR the Russian people and was even excited to be able to visit Russia and combine the technology and progress both sides had created. Now the propagandists say we "occupied" Russia during the 1990s. Huh? At least where I grew up in the US, everyone I knew was rooting for Russia to succeed, but they went backward instead of forward.

The young guy lives in Moscow, is well dressed and well spoken. He's not going to be mobilized. A guy his age in Tuva, poor, drunk and brainwashed, will be mobilized and believe he is protecting his country.

@wild_reader You as a people did win – by kicking your corrupt, authoritarian Communist Party rulers out of power. That is why we were happy for you – you were free. But then you chose yourselves to be ruled by another dictator. Russian people portray themselves as being strong, but it seems they prefer to be led like sheep.
