Thread: Гимн СССР

On this theme, and all of you learning the Soviet anthem in school:

It seems kind of tragic and strange that most of you Russian speakers were born in the same country (nation) and are now living in different countries despite not having moved... And would need a visa to visit each other.

Meanwhile, like someone said here a while back, as a contrast, Europe is moving fast in the exact opposite direction.

I wonder if the CIS countries will slowly come back together; or keep growing apart.

Well, think about it this way: Turkmenistan and Estonia were once part of the same country. Do you see a practical way to bring them back together?

Also, from what I've read here and there, there's no great enthusiasm for such a reunion either. Russians' dislike of the people of Caucasus immediately springs to mind...

EDIT: A voice from above tells me that the Baltic States are not members of the CIS. The voice is apparently right, but that hardly makes any difference.
