Because I was having a dispute over whether Ussr was in Asia or Europe with Dutch, it started in anither thread, and I didn't want to hijack that thread
Dutch could be forgiven for the belief that Russia is European; while the greater land mass is in Asia, the vast majority of the population -- and the capital -- is north of the Bosphorus and west of the Urals; in other words, geographically within continental Europe.
Even more so the USSR, which included Belarus and the Baltic states.
Good movie on the dissolution of the USSR, from the perspective of a breakaway nation (Estonia):
The Singing Revolution.
