That's exactly my impression. As Lukashenko says: "What's a Belarussian? It's a Russian with a quality sign". But I think if you would separate a 10 million enclave somewhere in central Russia they would be exactly as current Belarus. Russia is too big and diversed, having Caucasus shithole leechers, maintaining the hugest nuclear arsenal in the world and a million-sized military, having the longest borderlines in the world to secure, spending much efforts on international policy, etc.

You'll probably never get Belarus back ! Unless there is some kind of "USSR v2.0" and Belarus agrees to join.
Officialy we've already got a "union state" with Belarus, at least on paper. The only reason many Belarussians don't want to unite with current Russia is that they don't want to have Russian oligarchs "sitting on their neck" and I can perfectly understand them, I don't want to have oligarchs exploiting me and my country resourses either.

These three villians (I mean Yeltsin, Kravchuk and Shushkevich) must be lined up and shot for what they have deed in Bialowezhian Forest. Unfortunately that scum Yeltsin have died already, but I would dig out his corpse from his fukkin grave and shoot it anyway.
