It's easy, there's no such thing as a good Russia for Liberals. Can't be Capitalist, can't be Socialist, can't be Tsarist...

The only good Russia is one that's Balakanized and exploited by western oligarchs.
History starts when I say it does
I too enjoy a good strawman fallacy.
Would you mind elaborating?
Not the other commenter but the meme infers USSR was better, and infers people knew what was to happen afterwards. Russia was making progress a little bit before Putin. I constantly think about what if I wasn't adopted. I'll probably be dead, forced to fight on the wrong side of war in Ukrainian. Then again idk what the USSR would be if it never fallen, completely blocking foreigners from adopting their orphans.
The USSR was better for the vast majority of the population, 7 million people died due to its collapse. When the former Socialist state was sliced up and sold for parts, just like the "Washington Consensus" wanted, the people paid the price with their blood. The modern Russian Federation and all its ills stem from that liberalization of the economy and subsequent plundering. Putin is just a label for what liberalism accomplished, even without Putin the RF would have taken a similar if not near identical course.
