The legacy of the USSR continues to resonate in 2024, as evidenced by the fluctuating opinions and legislation related to its history and impact. A significant decline in the number of Ukrainians yearning for the Soviet regime highlights a shifting perspective, marked by an increased appreciation for sovereignty and independence.

Moreover, the symbolic restoration of Soviet emblems in occupied regions and the use of Soviet-era military tactics and equipment reflect a nuanced struggle over historical narrative and national identity. This tag page gathers comprehensive news updates, deep analyses, and expert viewpoints to offer a detailed picture of how the USSR's legacy shapes current events and future directions.
