The Soviet Bloc did not free itself with armed revolt. You tea-bagging shits had best remember that.
True, but then they went and subjugated themselves by putting Putin in charge. It was probably a "Make Russia Great Again" bullshit line that they lapped up.
They put putin in charge because the transition from soviet totalitarian communism to the supposed liberal capitalism was so mishandled that most of those who lived through it would infinitely prefer the palest shadow of old communist totalitarianism over the sort of liberal capitalism they experienced.
