You play with an overview that isn't true. Nations don't survive by using direct force against their own people. And that is what Russia was doing before 1990.
And today it's rainbows and unicorn farts?
Why don't you go to Russia and try to tell them about the 6th commandment like this woman did and let us know how that works out for you.

You are the one who is even suggesting 'rainbows and unicorn farts'. Probably because they exist where only you can 'see' them... behind your eyes.
Russia has the Bible. That includes the commandments. That's why they are trying to do free trade rather than forced trade.
Or do you think they forced Gazprom gas on Germany and Europe. If Germany had its brains outside of its back pocket, they would have paid France to keep its nuclear power plants going so they could at least buy electricity if gas went down. But no. They snubbed France. First in WW2, and now in buying gas from Russia, instead. Doesn't Germany realize that France is slanted in a Communistic direction rather than a Nazi one? Is the US actually pushing Germany in the direction of Communism?
But no. You would rather sanction the s*** out of Russia, and then complain when they have enough trouble that they need to shut their gas down. Compressor parts made in countries that sanctioned them so that they can't even buy the parts they need to keep the gas flowing.
But this has nothing to do with the logic of the situation. The logic is, why do business with your enemies? If Russia had been smarter, they would have worked harder on their BRICS agreements long ago.
To make matters worse, Azerbaijan is attacking a Russian ally, Armenia. And Armenia is asking for help under agreements the two countries have. I'd almost be willing to bet that the US is the one pushing Azerbaijan to war with Armenia. And why? All because the US Petro Dollar is being misused by the US, often to enslave other countries.
