Hear me out, I know the Soviet Union was technically Russia, but it was also Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Kazackstan, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. (Edited so now the Soviet States are written in English]

Anyways, so yes, it was Russia, but it was 14 other countries as well, so saying "The cold war was the United States vs Russia", or "Russia tried to crush us" when referring to the cold war, is technically wrong?
