Ukraine nor Russia are doing well now. Russia is continuing tsarist and “communist” tradition of oppressing and attacking smaller states. So don’t forget - fuck Putin.

I know that USSR propaganda said so and sometimes assisted anti-colonial movements in Africa (Africa-Casablanca group) but at the same time USSR met the difinition of exploitation colonialism in cases like: Ukrainian famine (Голодомор) - exporting wheat leaving nothing to the people working in the fields; forcing people in Azerbeijan to work in oil field to extract oil for USSR; doing atomic bomb tests in Kazachstan contaminating land and getting over a million of people lose their health. Also USSR fought with non-leninist/stalinist leftist forces in the SSRs for example Musavat in Azerbeijan od Polska Partia Socjalistyczna in Poland.

Soviet Union was also a colonial country ;)
