      I imagine they know the results of the USSR collapsing

      They really really don't, because if they did they'd recognize it for the absolute tragic catastrophe it was for millions of people. As far as the average russophobe (because this long con shit isn't even about being anti-Soviet, it really is just about hating Russia) is concerned the Soviet Union and the RusFed are the same entity with a new lick of paint and different cap badges.

        Liberals don't give a shit about material outcomes. Russia has capitalist "freedom" now so as far as libs are concerned, all else is irrelevant and those damn Ruskies should be more grateful we saved them from themselves.

      They don't know, they either think it's all good now, or they think it didn't collapse hard enough and that's why it's still suffocating people with gobbulism

      I think you are giving these reactionaries too much credit.
