Soviet Russia was complex. Too complex to sum it up with an Orwellian riff.
Russia has been pre-occupied with the west as much as it has been pre-occupied by Russification. They are two of its historical twines that twist around everything that they are involved in. It is a most interesting thing.
I would suggest that the fear of the west is part of the problem and that is understandable, no?
This meant under Stalin, at least, massive industrialisation at the cost of the civilian population's welfare. I guess he believed it would help Russia in the long-run. He was wrong.
Yes.
