This is precisely my argument: in 1991 everyone was thinking Russia will become a normal country, focused on its own well-being, rather than having a KGB putch, then killing 100k civilians in Chechnya, then having its top politicians call for restoration of the USSR.
If you ignore this neo-imperial sentiment of Russian politics in 90's, you will never understand the politics of Eastern Europe and will remain confined to the Duginian cliches.
