Do Russians wish the Soviet Union had stayed around but just

hairstyles in the 80s and 90s were so awful

Gorbachev wanted to turn the Soviet Union into a social democratic state like Scandinavian countries. Suffice it to say Russians and the world in general would be much better off if that happened. They would also still be able to keep US in check and now have the moral superiority over them.

They could nationalise their natural resources and be like Norway.

Russia got completely looted in 90's. Russia is the most unequal country on earth, average Russian citizens have a per capita of less than 300 dollars per person, that's less than Somalia.

looks great to me

No. I like it how commies got wrecked. Serves good to them

Holy shit, a post where literally not a single statement is true!

OP, I think it's an obviously impossible scenario for many reasons so imagining that would also mean imagining a fuckload of other changes bundled with it, so I think it's sort of a pointless question to be honest. Might as well ask about Sweden if it turned isolationist or Britain if it held onto its empire.

my shitty mexican village has better roads than that

>>73481072
No, it's better without -stans and other freeloaders.
On the other hand, we lost a lot of territories with Russian majority, it's not good.

It would be cool

Your shitty Mexican village has almost the same temperature throughout the year. It's not like it's completely impossible to maintain roads in Russian conditions (Canada and Finland proove otherwise), but it's definitely harder than doing it in dry subequatorial countries.
