Gorbachev did lose power because all of sudden there was nothing Soviet Union anywhere. This is how it was a double coup against him, first by the KGB who detained him in Crimes and then by Yeltsin and the others as the KGB (and his own bodyguards) kept him in Crimea.
The Soviet Army splintered. This is how the Ukrainian Armed Forces came to be. This is also how Ukraine got their gigantic nuclear arsenal.
It you mean someone like Strelkov (if he won't get the window trip first) at least won't be a retarded madman. He may be a maniac (and Strelkov's very much against the idea of using nuclear weapons btw) but he won't be retarded. It may be better for Russia, at least.
The Bolsheviks conquered the independent Ukraine.
(They also conquered Russia, and turned it into a Hell on Earth.)
He lost power before Yeltsin & company illegally declared the USSR dissolved. Which makes a mockery of your claims.
It was just what was on the territory of Ukraine, nothing more.
I mean someone like Medvedev after his redemption arc. I don't have any illusion that a man like Strelkov would be capable of retaining power in Russia. And I have my doubts about Medvedev as well.
How independent was 'Ukraine' in 1914?
Correct.
"Medvedev redemption arc"? Crying and raging over his yacht?
Just as much as independent Poland (Czechia, Slovakia, Croatia, and so forth) was in 1914.
I respect Strelkov like Basayev, based crazy guerrilla energy. Like Che if Che wasn't a fagphobic faggot. Skorzeny in a way.
Not trying to appease the West anymore.
Poland existed long before 1914, and so did Bohemia and Moravia. Ukraine? Never.
Are you telling me that Strelkov is not a fagphobe? Disappointing.
Dina Med was only playing a role given by him in the theater.
As I told you many times, Ukraine was K-Rus before the Lithuanian expansion. And specifically Ukrainian nationalism is about as old as any other European nationalism, including Polish (the idea of a nation, not just a state).
Strelkov's only as much fagphobic as an average Ukrainian. That is, no fag camps.
