Why didn't Russia use force to restore the Soviet Union?

There are several main reasons why Russia did not use force to unify the participating countries:

1, its own strength is less than 2, the mass base is no longer 3, and the international environment does not allow it.

The Soviet Union, as an unforgettable period in Russian history, is a special era, which can be seen from a distance, but it cannot be ridiculed, missed or revisited.

19911On February 25th, when the western countries were immersed in the laughter of Christmas, the distant Soviet Union sent a super gift, that is, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the capitalist camp.

As the largest producer in the world, the disintegration of the Soviet Union means the end of the Cold War, and the world has since entered a new chapter. For Russia, the main body of the Soviet Union, it has a special flavor.

Because after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the countries of the former Soviet Union became the pawns of the western countries as soon as possible, while Russia, which was half dead, was a thorn in the side of the western countries and was hit by the storm.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it lost more than 50 million people, more than 5 million square kilometers of land and almost all excellent seaports. Russia has completely become a second-tier power, and its status as a former superpower is gradually drifting away.

Theoretically speaking, it is precisely because the disintegration of the Soviet Union caused Russia to lose almost all its resources that Russia was half dead for a long time. Therefore, if Russia is willing to unify all the participating countries by force, it will certainly be able to reproduce the glory of the superpower in the Soviet era.

Unfortunately, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. There are several reasons why Russia did not unify the participating countries by force:

1, its own strength is insufficient.

Without strength, all grand blueprints are on paper, while today's Russia is almost on paper.

The impact of the disintegration of the Soviet Union on Russia not only caused Russia to lose a lot of population and land, but also caused Russia to completely lose its powerful and complete industrial system and the possibility of making a comeback.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Yeltsin and others, who were full of expectations for western aid, came to buy cabbage from Soviet state-owned assets. In addition, the privileged class that has risen since Brezhnev also took the opportunity to make a fortune at this time. The accumulation of decades in the Soviet Union was instantly destroyed, and an oligarchy was born.

Since Yeltsin reached a political deal with oligarchs in 1996, oligarchs have become an inseparable part of Russian politics.

Chicken feather foundation, abnormal system and incompetent leaders are the important reasons why Russia has never recovered its vitality. Even if Putin came to power at 199 1, even under the current situation caused by Yeltsin, it would be difficult for Putin to return Russia to that proud Soviet era.

Although Russia, which has lost its industrial system, can die by selling resources to eat, Russia has never mastered the international energy pricing power, which makes Russia inevitably subject to others. In view of the irreconcilable relationship between Russia and western countries, Russia's desire to get rich by purchasing resources is basically unknown. Without money, there is no strength.

Therefore, the lack of strength is the fundamental reason that hinders Russia's shot.

Although the Soviet Union left Russia with a large number of nuclear weapons, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other former nuclear-armed countries also abandoned their nuclear weapons one after another, but Russia easily hanged other countries. But what about nuclear weapons? Kill the enemy 1000, and lose yourself 1200? Our weapons have always been deterrent rather than offensive weapons, which makes Russia's so-called road to reunification, nuclear weapons have no effect at all.

2, the mass base is no longer.

From the course of the formation of the Soviet Union, although there are also factors dominated by Soviet-Russian violence, but? Do the revolution together? The mass base still plays a huge role. Today, this so-called mass base has long lost its market. There is no market because the Soviet Union is a real nightmare for non-Russian countries, not its former glory.

Although Lenin advocated that all participating countries should join the Soviet Union on an equal footing and reserve the right to withdraw. But Stalin changed all that. On the one hand, we will try our best to enhance Russia's status and make other countries Russian? Status? Or? Province? Under great oppression. Moreover, Stalin's authority also makes it impossible for countries that freely advance and retreat into the Soviet Union to quit the Soviet Union.

After Stalin's death, the Stalin model was deeply rooted and began to become the further ceiling of the Soviet Union, and the performance of participating countries became more centrifugal. Because Russia has been using developed areas such as the Baltic countries to subsidize backward areas such as the five Central Asian countries, except for the backwardness of the five Central Asian countries, other participating countries have long complained and hated the old Soviet Union.

Therefore, for this terrible past, Russia wants to restore the Soviet Union, which is simply taking the world as an axe.

Ironically, Russia, as the main body of the Soviet Union, is also a deep-water bomb to disintegrate the Soviet Union. In order to gain the recognition of western countries and consolidate his power, Yeltsin vigorously promoted the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the independence of Russia.

Therefore, when all participating countries finally get rid of the Soviet Union and have a new life, it is impossible for them to go back to suffer.

Without milk from other countries, Russia is doomed to be lonely.

3. The international environment does not allow it.

When the Soviet Union still existed, internal division was like a quarrel between young couples, which was their own business. However, when the Soviet Union ceased to exist and the CIS became a new international organization, Russia could no longer be as arrogant as it used to be.

To put it bluntly, the issue of Russia's restoration of the Soviet Union at this time is not just a small goal, but a complex international issue. The international community will never support Russia's restoration of the Soviet Union. After all, it was too angry with the Soviet Union. What will happen if western countries oppose Russia? Unification? Indifferent, that is really sick.

When Yeltsin advocated the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States, he had the idea of reunification. However, all the countries that finally got out of the misery said that they bought watches last year, which embarrassed Yeltsin.

At this time, the western countries, taking advantage of Russia's fragile moment, began to vigorously fan the flames around Russia.

As the countries that hate the Soviet Union the most, the three Baltic countries flew away on the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and became a member of the western world for the first time.

However, Ukraine, Georgia, etc. Under the bluff of western countries, they began to waver and willingly became pawns of the United States, which made their relationship with Russia worse.

Even the five Central Asian countries, as Russia's backyard, began to be wooed by western countries when Russia was in a slump, leaving Russia with little room to play. The only hope is Belarus led by Lukashenko.

Belarus, on the other hand, is too small to be wooed by western countries, which makes it possible for Russia and Belarus to merge and dock.

But Lukashenko is not stupid. Russia knows that even if Russia and Belarus merge, there is still a long way to go to restore the former Soviet Union.
