I cant tell wether the statement that Russia had “soul” is because of the stockholm syndrome or something else, but how can you say that considering millions of people have been deported to gulags in the early days of communism, and hundreds of millions are still suffering today because of communist regimes Russia imposed on their countries? Do I get a sense of someone decrying the collapse of the SU? The political entity that literally massacred the cultures of millions of east europeans? Think again about what you wrote.

I get what you are saying but those countries were more like colonies than a part of Russia. My opinion is that they should have been left alone, like every country should, especially in that time when technology wasn't so hazardous and so widespread.

The fact that you managed to understand that I decry the collapse of the Soviet Union when my post said the exact opposite, namely that I can't see how in China an event like that could take place -- and this was the foundation on which I based my affirmation of Russians having a soul -- tells me that your agenda stands firmly on the side of the CCP, in detriment of everybody else. Quite sad, really.
