And don't forget that Poland, Baltic states and Finland were part of Russian Empire.
Don't forget the Russian Empire ceased to exist over a century ago, as a consequence of their "only scary on paper" army trying to go toe-to-toe against a genuinely well equipped and well trained enemy.
Literally nobody alive today lived in the Russian Empire. Restoring that empire makes as little sense as trying to restore the Roman Empire of the fifth century.
If your nation could just try to drag itself kicking and screaming into the reality of the world since the Great War, that would be appreciated.
Your commitment to being two centuries behind the developed world is not big or clever.
Grow. The fuck. Up.
