I like how Putin clarified that Soviet Ukrainianization and indigenization of other areas of the USSR was not a bad policy in principle, makes it seem less anti-communist than his February 24, 2022 speech where he just says Lenin created Ukraine. This time he’s close to the Russian leftist view, that it was the nationalists that divided Russia and the Soviets reunited and stabilized the country.

    There’s no issue in that instance but he doesn’t approach it from a Marxist point of view clearly. It’s good he didn’t shit on the USSR there yes but we shouldn’t misunderstand what type of a person he is and his political philosophy. He started his political life very naive and to some extent he still is compared to even your average poster here who understands deeply the irredeemable and uncompromising nature of the white supremacist capitalist west and it’s imperialist system and how it cannot be reasoned with, bargained, with and under what principles it operates and what it operates in service to.

    I was just stating how I think he views it and is trying to sell it and probably how Tucker perceives it.
