Could the Soviet Union come back?

[Karsane]

I'd assume the world would prefer an old-fashioned Eastern Orthodox Imperialist Russia over another Soviet Union.

This is my exact opinion. I'd rather see a Tsar rule over Russia than a president or premier marshal proletariat thing.

[Rio Cana]

Well, us Poles and Lithuanians are like the best duo in Eastern Europe.

So,

The good all days when the Polish-Lithuanians controlled what makes up most of Ukraine today.
The following red colored area overlaid over a modern map shows the territorial extent of the Polish-Lithuania kingdom. Could this be why they are so interested with Ukraine.

No, if something like it would rise, it would be something different.

Yeah, no thanks, we Orthodox don't consider a time of forced conversions to Catholicism "the good old days".

[Sau Island]

According to me, it can't, because communism is a very outdated concept nowadays.

[Arcanda]

Communism is dead.The Soviet Union is a thing of the past, it just can't work in our globalized world nowadays.It's like a feudal system, it's not compatible with the XXIst century.

[Sisterhood]

I highly doubt it...

[The Great Zedong Dynasty]

What he is doing is trying to bring back the Imperial Russian Czarist Government which is obsolete and also the reason why Communism rose into the country taking millions of lives and Czar Nicholas wasn't a good man either he killed his own people with famine and armed attacks on the populace. What kills me that he wants to be the new Czar Vladimir Putin. But one problem he's not a Romanov !

[The Great Zedong Dynasty]

He will never be czar!

I would rather see neither and Russia being ruled by a republican government

That would be awesome! But it wouldn't work out and also this would lead to more crises in the EU.

[The Great Zedong Dynasty]

I want Edo Japan to become an Empire and unite under the Rising Sun!

[Indira]

Unlikely. The old Soviet Union collapsed for good reason after all. Who would WANT to bring it back? Not to mention that the circumstances that created the Soviet Union don't exist any more

[The Chinese Protected American States]

No, it can't.

And no one with half a mind is going to miss the old one.

[Nervium]

No.

Why the hell would anyone have this catastrophic empire that was a major social cathastrophe to come back?

Even better, if you like communism, you should hate the Soviet Union.

[Nazis in Space]

It should be.

We need a trustworthy player on the world stage. A partner who will not hesitate to stand against the imperialist expansion of the Euro-American plutocracy. A light in the darkness, hosting free media that'll tell us the truth, unlike the corrupt media moguls directing the sheeple as they please. We need a supporter of humanism, a defender of civil rights and pursuor of political liberty.

We need a champion of freedom to stand against the encroachment of American authoritarianism.

We need the Soviet Union.

I say again.

You need to stop playing Red Alert 3 so much.

A champion of freedom? A TRUSTWORTHY PLAYER? A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS!?! Are we talking about the SAME entity!?!

[Anglo-California]

No. Putin is not some reincarnation of Stalin.

[Risottia]

the Crimea belongs to the Ukraine it always had!

Wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea
Crimea and adjacent territories were united in the Crimean Khanate during the 15th to 18th century before falling to the Russian Empire and being organised as its Taurida Oblast in 1783.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Crimea became a republic within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the USSR. In World War Two it was downgraded to the Crimean Oblast, and in 1954 the Crimean Oblast was transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. It became the Autonomous Republic of Crimea within newly independent Ukraine in 1991, with Sevastopol having its own administration, within Ukraine but outside of the Autonomous Republic.

In short: Crimea has been part of Russia from 1783 to 1954. That's 171 years. Part of Ukraine from 1954 to 2014. That's 60 years.
Learn2factcheck.

Also, Crimea belongs to the people who live there. People have rights, countries don't.

No. Putin is not some reincarnation of Stalin.

Also because Putin is Russian and lacks a cool moustache, while Stalin was Georgian and had the most badass moustache ever.

If they want it, why not?
