USSR collapsed—Russia will too

Nothing new is happening now. Before the collapse of the USSR, even Henry Kissinger said that California would separate from the United States sooner than the Soviet Union would fall apart.

French President Mitterrand welcomed the creation of the State Emergency Committee (GKChP) because he strongly hoped they would remove Gorbachev and save the USSR, so the world would return to the way Mitterrand was accustomed to.

After Serbian war criminal Ratko Mladić and his thugs murdered more than seven thousand Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in front of UN peacekeepers, leading politicians around the world still urged their colleagues to be cautious in their statements so as not to provoke the Serbs.

"This is to say that nothing new is happening. “This has happened before.” Our actions cannot depend on someone’s statements, shortsightedness, or lack of courage."

The task for each of us in this war remains unchanged: do what you can for victory, wherever you are. Do it conscientiously and as much as you can.

Today’s Russia is weaker than the USSR was then. The Soviet Union died, and so will the Russian Federation.
