But we must prevent them from reestablishing the USSR - the world does not want or need that hellhole back. Other than that, there is a chance that Russia will try to do what it did in Ukraine with a different Eastern European nation. Hell, they might even use Königsberg (Kaliningrad is bullshit) as a FOB if they really wanted to go after one of them.
Putin once said whoever misses the USSR has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no head.
Give him some credit.
Yes, Russia isn't going communist again if that's what people are worried about. Putin is not a communist (more a Right wing oligarch/state capitalist, I think). His USSR nostalgia is probably more down to missing the days when Russia was a power rivalling the US- he is a nationalist and an imperialist, but not a communist.
