it's an american army

in the SU,

it's a russian army

with russian politicians,

obviously, the RSFSR was the largest state, so obviously it would have control over the other republics

and the russian politicians decide what goes and what not

oh now you admit it

so the states were colonies

no, these territories were part of the Russian empire for centuries

how are they even colonies?

they were official states

yeah the french colonies were french for more than a century

so they're french now

officially

your using the word "colony" in a quintessential wrong example and wrong context

@𝕡𝕦𝕘𝕤𝕪 𝕥𝕙𝕖 ducc the Russian empire existed from 1480

so centuries

not one century

no the only difference here

is that the colonies border russia

and have been colonies for this long

mate it's as if turkey claimed greece to be officially turk because it used to own these territories

no wtf, they weren't even colonies to begin with, why are we bringing location into this?

because it matters

try were official states

not colonies

they were bordering colonies

cut this tit for tat

did malaysia have any seats in the house if commons? No.

did Sudan have any seats in the house of commons? No.

representation

Ukrainian, byelorussian ssr states had members in the Politburo
