> Internally, Russia has become Soviet Union 2.0
Ok, i stopped at that line, that's when you know it's not a report but rather it's propaganda
That's sad coming from Estonia

From the Kremlin:
"Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself."
Putin doesn't want a "new USSR". He wants a Commonwealth. If its good for Brits and Canucks and Aussies and Kiwi's, it'll work for the rest of the world too ..

Its the USA that doesn't want to see this commonwealth form and become economically viable as a trading partner with the EU, because not only would it indeed represent an economic bloc that would be overwhelming for the US' intelligence services to corrupt, and usurp .. as they are wont to do .. it'd also be a superpower that even China couldn't handle.
Which is why the USA is doing everything it can (Ukraine coup) to ensure this unity never happens.
During the first months of the invasion when the Kremlin was searching for powerful symbolism, one of the symbols they tried to use was a Red Flag Granny: https://rg.ru/2022/04/12/babushka-s-krasnym-flagom-stala-sim....
They even installed some hastily-made monuments to her, which had to be removed just weeks later after the Granny apologised to the Ukrainian media.
Media Propaganda is not nearly equivalent to official state policy.
They don't force anyone
> Putin is scared of old soviet union nations joining Europe
I don't think Russia is scared
They are worried Europe became an american military base with long range weaponry

> They're free to do so.
Nobody said the opposite
So why did they invade Ukraine then?
There is bad in both sides
