    The Soviet Union did perpetuate the Settler-Colonial legacy of the state it was succeeding too. Consciousness for Settler-Colonialism and trying to explicitly avoid it and dismantle it wasn't exactly mainstream in European academic societies at the time - even among socialists in the USSR. At that point, trying to sway Israel into the socialist bloc was far more pressing to the Soviets.
