I am terribly sorry, but this is far form reality. The Soviet Union was just Russia and the enslaved people that the Russians brought with them as a consequence of the Russian empire. All the technology and development was in Russian hands. they had industrialised other areas too, but mainly were the Russians colonised. Like Donbas, Russian parts of Kazakstan. Baltics.
Very few soviet leaders were "real Russians" but the whole "deep state" was Russian.
in 1991, Russia dismantled the Russian empire that took 200 years to build. They are not happy about it now. But the real power behind it all is Russia. Russia now is in its smallest borders that it has had in hundreds of years and will never accept these borders. They have the military to expand they they will.
Don't write them off, they are top 3 in the world and the number 4 power is India and its way down comparing to Russia. they can't even make a proper jet engine.
You don't rate Russia very highly because you don't now enough about them. I am sorry it is this way. I would like it if this were not true.
Lol, Russia Empire at their height even being beaten down by small puny Japan, almost being rolled off by much smaller Germany and thanks to live line support of UK-US they can prevail, let alone today when they are in deep shit economically and their military equipment is not all impresive with record being *** beaten every where you name it. It is a jokes for Russia to be able to roll off the Turks, when even the well equipped Empire failed to penetrate rag tag Ottoman troops at Caucasus led by Enver Pasha.
The most possible scenario it is for Russia to fishing in trouble water by let the Turks and Azeris to roll on the Armenian and instead push their own army into Yerevan and once more install puppet leader in Armenia. The Russia is well known for the trickery and backhand method.
