The Russians of the 21st century are just applying what their sordid ancestors formulated in the 13th century when out of their home base in the the swamps of Muscovy they **chose** to be the Gоldеn Ноrdе’ѕ go-to tax collectors and enforcers, and staunchest ~~collaborators~~ *bootlickers* by a country mile.

Ukraine faces a fundamental contradiction in the way it positions itself in relation to the USSR. If it was an occupied republic, then it is correct to reject responsibility for Soviet-era crimes—but it also cannot demand a share of Soviet assets, which were assumed by Russia as the recognized successor state. If, on the other hand, Ukraine were to claim succession, then it would have to accept liability for the USSR’s actions, from the deportations and annexations in Romania and Moldova to the wider spoliation across Eastern Europe. One cannot inherit the estate without also inheriting the debts.
This is not just an abstract point. Poland frames Ukraine as a fellow victim of Moscow, Romania recognizes it as independent but notes that it holds territories taken from Romania by the USSR, and Moldova has its own unresolved history shaped by Soviet power. These nuances matter. To claim Soviet inheritance would reopen old grievances and potentially legitimise demands for reparations. To insist on occupation avoids this—but then Ukraine cannot simultaneously argue that it was denied a rightful share of the Soviet Union’s assets

When russia left their naval base at Hangö, Finland, they cut down every tree on the premises and took the lumber back home. Classy people.
