    I suppose with “comrade” you are hinting at Soviet customs, but Russia isn’t the USSR and couldn’t be further from being socialist

      Russia isn’t the USSR but it is heading towards the USSR ways, and it’s already there in many aspects. It’s not just on a technical definition, a lot of pro-war and nationalist rhetoric is rooted in the old USSR culture.

      The USSR wasn’t socialist, it was communist. And yes I know, it wasn’t real communism because real communism is a utopia.

        Russia isn’t implementing maternal paid leave, a good universal healthcare system, guaranteed housing, food, education, and a job, so it’s not heading for the ‘USSR ways’ and the USSR was socialist
