I'm including USSR in the term Russia because obvious reasons, it was still the same country with different name, and USSR annexed bunch of countries around it.

Those countries that "broke from USSR" were independent nations before.

No one has instilled as much hate against communism as the few dictatorships calling themselves communist have. Not even USA, where 'communist' has been a slur for the past hundred years
