#Russia should have inherited the criminal record of the #SovietUnion, and not its nukes nor its seat on the #UNSecurityCouncil. Not the other way around.
Most of what is wrong in the world right now can be attributed in whole or at least in part to the United States catastrophically mishandling the biggest geopolitical windfall in its short history.
And I don't mean just the Bush Sr., #BudapestMemorandum was on Bill Clinton's watch.
If you are interested government efficiency, or technocracy, have a look at Joseph Stalin’s regime in the old Soviet Union.
Stalin was obsessed withe government efficiency and progress.
@james Found another image from the same location (probably same day).
My guess is that rocket is a R-7 Semyorka ICBM.
EDIT: It could be a later version used to launch satellites like Sputnik, as the text in the image indicates the photo was taken at Baikonur.

Einstein honored Lenin
I honor Lenin as a man who completely sacrificed himself and devoted all his energy to the realization of social justice... one thing is certain: men of his type are the guardians and restorers of the conscience of humanity.

The Red Army of the USSR began the Second World War (1939-45) with a series of shocking defeats, but from late 1942, it rallied and held on to key cities like the capital Moscow, Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), and Stalingrad (Volgograd). #History #RedArmy #SecondWorldWar #SovietUnion #USSR #WWII #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2700-en/

The #ParisCommune was destroyed just like the #SovietUnion was. After the #Paris #Commune was destroyed, the press was quick to call #socialism this "failed idea" even back then, pointing to the destruction of the Paris Commune & the murder of the Communards to make their case.
#Elon wants to turn the #US into the #SovietUnion.
I have a strong conviction that the uniformity, conformity, hierarchy, obedience & brutalism that defined Soviet Union were much more Russian traits than socialist traits.
