During the Soviet era and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia “lost enormous territory,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a concert marking the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea.
“In the 1920s, the Bolsheviks, forming the Soviet Union for reasons still incomprehensible, gave away significant territories, geopolitical spaces to quasi-state entities,” the Russian president said during an event at Luzhniki Stadium.
Then, according to Putin, the Bolsheviks “broke apart their party” and the Soviet Union, and as a result Russia was left without historical lands.
Moscow is ready to live in friendship and cooperation with its neighbors, Putin said.
“But we will never agree with only one thing: that they allow themselves to use the generous gifts of Russia to harm the Russian Federation itself. I hope it will be heard,” Putin said.
As an example, he cited the “return of Crimea,” which he said was “the restoration of historical justice.”
Russia sees the inhabitants of neighboring countries not just as close geographically, but as fraternal peoples, Putin said.
“We are ready to give a helping hand to ensure development, to move forward, to advance together, using our competitive advantages,” Putin added, as quoted by Interfax.

Putin: Ukraine is a quasi-state. Sounds he wants Lviv as well.
“We are ready to give a helping hand to ensure development, to move forward, to advance together, using our competitive advantages,” Putin added, as quoted by Interfax.

Putin’s Russia has little to offer the world. Putin’s intention is nothing short of the re-establishment of the Tsarist empire with himself as Tsar.

Putin does not understand that the collapse of the Soviet system was predetermined, therefore he believes his mission is to restore the Soviet system as soon as possible.
As a middle-ranking KGB officer who loved the Soviet Union, Putin lacked the perspective of senior officers, who knew full well the Soviet Union collapsed under the weight of its own inefficiency rather than because of Western plotting .
Awesome statement, Stanley! 👍
Thanks Mike. That means something coming from you.
I have always respected your comments and opinions..,.,….. even when we disagree.
Disagreeing is true democracy. I am very critical because i love Ukraine from my heart, not my dick. It hurts me to see ukrainians being viewers of a movie they play no major role in.
Spot the Russian historic lands in this map. First you need to find a country that didn’t exist at the time.

I see Denmark, Bulgaria and some kinda Ukraine. No Muscovy there. 😎
Kiev is on there, but no Muscovy.
Good ole times. 😂
Didn’t know Wales is that old. 😂
If you notice is says Welsh. Wales was not recognised as a country until the 16th century.
I think west-midlanders have plenty of welsh blood. Wales and Northern Ireland are great places to visit, East Anglia as well. I love the countryside, quiet and idyllic. Although London is great for young people. Anyway, the welsh were great fighters, they never surrendered.
The Scots were better. Even the Romans were shit scared of them. They built a wall to keep out the barbarians. LMAO
Barbarians? Didn’t know Scotland got attacked by ruSSians. 😂
Scotland is just full of Russian lovers now.
Very old. Welsh is the oldest language in Europe. Onid bachgen!
Its not a language , but a disease from the throught.
Bring back the Khazars! That would piss off the putinazis!
If every country acted the way Russia does, Italy or Greece would rule all of Europe, but having a selective memory in history helps Russia.
To paraphrase something that the poisonous little toad said: the breakup of the British empire was the worse geopolitical disaster of the 20th century! Cough, splutter! Ha ha! Imagine how much safer the world would be today if it was reconstituted. All of it; including the USA, which was stolen from us by British terrorists! Ha ha! I’ll go back to the funny farm now!
I notice he never mentioned Alaska.
The Louisiana Territory was not stolen from Anglia. 😀
New Amsterdam, some call it these days New York is still occupied by Americans! hahaha
I prefer Real Amsterdam. 😀
