The interview with Baburin is not reasoned discourse. It is political theatre. He frames empire as justice and collapse as crime. His message twists history into a tool of control.
Baburin calls the fall of the USSR illegal. He leans on missing signatures and skipped procedures. This is a red herring. Legal paperwork does not undo three decades of sovereignty. He peddles the idea that a skipped vote means history can be undone. That is false logic. It is like claiming a divorce never happened because someone forgot to sign page two.
He says restoring the USSR will end the war in Ukraine. This is lunacy dressed as law. Wars do not end by rebooting old empires. They end through peace, justice, and recognition of borders. What Baburin proposes is not peace. It is conquest wearing old clothes.
The talk of bringing back the USSR plays on nostalgia. This is emotional bait. The USSR was not a dream. It was famine, repression, censorship, and war. Yet Baburin glosses over this. He speaks of order, not the cost. He uses selective memory to build a myth.
He claims the people never wanted the collapse. This is hindsight bias. In the late eighties, republics marched for freedom. People chose their own flags. Baburin wants to erase that choice. He wraps his story in “what if” and ignores “what was.”
He blames Gorbachev and hints at betrayal. This is scapegoating. When nations fall, the lazy mind looks for villains. It does not ask if the system had already rotted from within. Baburin chooses conspiracy over context.
He mourns the lack of strong Soviet men. This is authoritarian nostalgia. He mistakes control for leadership. He wants obedience, not vision. His ideal leader is not elected but enthroned.
He talks of law, but what he means is force. He masks aggression in procedure. He wants to raise an empire from legal ashes. This is necropolitics. Power pulled from the bones of the past.
This is not a scholar speaking. It is an ideologue using law as a weapon. His goal is not truth but revival of a myth. He wraps lies in old flags and calls it justice. What he proposes is not a return to order. It is a march backward into ruin.
The USSR died. Its time is over. Baburin is digging up the corpse and calling it a cure. It is not. It is rot.
