If only Americans didn’t hate LGBT and minorities so much they might be actually be able to progress instead of continuing the American tradition of two steps forward one step back.

Yeah, I was being a bit hyperbolic to blame Boris personally, but I really despise the guy, so it comes easily to me.
The understanding that the fall of the USSR was a world historic tragedy is not uncommon in Russia or even outside of it. The consequences of the economic looting and societal collapse from the shock therapy were real and devastating, like losing a war. The USSR was illegally dissolved, and America got exactly the kind of government it wanted. Everything that has happened since has been blowback for actions the US/NATO have taken, and simply stepping back the aggression, coups, and insistence on an ever-expanding NATO could have absolutely have allowed for a real long term diplomatic solution.
