Russian Foreign Ministry: it is hardly possible to seriously talk about the revival of the USSR

“It is hardly possible to speak seriously about the revival or restoration of the USSR.

The course of history cannot be reversed.

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated this.

In our practical policy, we proceed from the existing realities,” the ministry said.

At the same time, they reminded that Russia, like the United States and other countries, has legitimate interests, including in the field of security.

In December, United States Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland expressed concern that Russian President Vladimir Putin was seeking to "recreate the Soviet Union."

After that, the Kremlin noted that Nuland was "perfectly versed" in the subject of Russia, as well as "in all the nuances of the post-Soviet space" and is well aware that the reconstruction of the Soviet Union is impossible.
