"Enough of the foolish Soviet nostalgia" – Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds to Putin's advisor's statement regarding "non-disintegration of the USSR"

Commenting on the statement of vladimir putin's advisor regarding the alleged non-disintegration of the USSR, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Georgiy Tikhij, called for an end to the silly Soviet nostalgia, UNN reports.

The collapse of the USSR in 1991 was one of the moments of greatest hope at the end of the 20th century

He noted that the Soviet Union collapsed - fortunately and forever.

Instead of offering absurd legal fantasies, outdated minds stuck in the Soviet past should ask what brand of toilet paper their families used during the USSR. They will not be able to answer, because it did not exist. Enough of the silly Soviet nostalgia

Context

According to Russian media, Anton Kobyakov, advisor to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, said that the Soviet Union allegedly "still exists from a legal point of view."

In February, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that the Russian leadership is inclined to create an empire modeled on the Soviet Union, but with the countries of the Warsaw Pact. Therefore, in the worst case scenario, Poland will be next, followed by the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Bulgaria.

Budanov also stated that Russia sees itself as an empire, so it will not stop and will try to do everything to achieve the absorption of Ukraine by military, political, and internal social methods. In the understanding of the Russian Federation, at least three states are needed for the existence of the empire: Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine.
