I say the rest of the world gets together and piece back the USSR, just so we can have catchy slogans like "Loose lips sink ships" again.
Oh and the sensation of an impending nuclear holocaust, because we all know Iran don't gots the stones.

Sure it's not the hammer & sickle, but I doubt many Islamic countries would enjoy re-familiarizing themselves with a state that crushed the sovereignty of Afghanistan.
I got/get bored, which explains why I took a four-month break from when I originally made this account.
@Syme:
Actually they somewhat did, considering that the areas later turned into their own Republics (Turkmen, Uzbek, etc.) were basically Russian colonies where Russian chauvinism was rampant. Under Stalin the movement for ethnic equality achieved its highest levels, two good reads on this being Affirmative Action Empire and Tribal Nation: The Making of Soviet Turkmenistan. Later on however, under Brezhnev specifically, ethnic equality went downhill and these regions got treated basically like colonies again.EDIT: Plus, it's not like they had much of a choice about "familiarizing" themselves with Russia the first time around, ha ha ha!

i mean mrdie is a faggot, but he knows his shit when he argues
10 minutes of fascinating clicking and reading has led me from Union_State (which I had actually never heard of, which surprises me) on wikipedia to Teutonic knights and from there to historical inhabitants of Malta.
