Russia was not colonised? Independent? Did you missed 90’s? Did US empire do not currently want to colonise it again? Did you missed literally everything happening after 90’s too? And you call me “uninformed”?
I lived through what happened during the 90s and I’ll always remember it, which is why I didn’t believe for a second Europe has anything in store for Ukraine (or Russia) but massacre, rape, plunder, and slavery. Bandera (and Vlasov) made this mistake, then Kravchuk (and Yeltsin) made the same mistake. Putin did too some time ago, and more recently pro-Western Ukrainian governments. We can all see the outcome for Ukrainians.
You are uninformed about the content of the self determination theory you’re attempting to quote. It simply doesn’t apply here, apples and oranges.
It absolutely does apply here, you even boldened it yourself in previous post:
There is no need to mention the national movement in other, larger, colonial and dependent countries, such as India and China, every step of which along the road to liberation
Unless you think country cannot be colonised when it’s large and nominally independent, but again India and China prove that false.
The Foundations of Leninism was published in 1924 when India was under the British rule and China was in the Century of Humiliation, both would only end in the aftermath of WW2.
