i can kind of see the logic on that first take. Russia has a greater chance of a proletarian revolution in the next decade or so than p much the entire "west"

nostalgia for the Soviet age has not died, but most of the nostalgia is from a post Stalin USSR so they would have seen the liberalizing policies of krushchev and gorbachev and might be disillusioned away from revolution, even the brezhnev era, despite its decent domestic policies, alienated the PRC (and other socialist states). i think the CPRF is pretty pro China but i dont know much abt that party. if this nato/Russia war escalates Russia has a lot of factors in favor of revolution
