they did, they were allowed to vote in internal matters themselves pertaining to it, but for other policies it was direct rule from Moscow
and in comparison to the US,
washington does not have this kind of power over other states
they used to be part of the Russian empire for centuries anyway, I like how your calling them colonies
there is no washington army
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
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
does not mean that it isn't a colony
hell, even Stalin himself was a Georgian
so?
these arent even colonies to begin with, they were official states of the USSR
