        They ran a shitty corrupt government, tried to conquer eastern Europe, failed, renamed themselves to “Russian Federation”, and are now trying to recapture lost states while feeding people into a never ending meat grinder.

          tried to conquer eastern Europe, failed

          How so if it was indeed occupied for years?
