I think it's strange how you don't allow Russians or other Eastern European people agency of their own.
Typical ML worldview. Defiance to the Ruling Class isn't tolerated.
Russians wanted to join Europe, it simply wasn't allowed, I don't know what part of agency I'm removing from Russians. Funny how some countries are "democratically" allowed to join NATO (was there a referendum in Ukraine?), and some aren't.
Russians are already part of Europe. Or like half of it is. And the members in EU and NATO always get to decide who to allow as members. Ukraine nor Russia is a member.
I was thinking agency in Eastern European people wanting to get away from under Soviet Union/Russia and join NATO and agency for Russians in some of their communist hardliners gave Soviet Union the final killing blow by destroying the New Union Treaty.
