So it appears that our former KGB officer and President of Russia, is trying to reform the Soviet Union... http://online.wsj.com/articles/former-soviet-states-form-new-trade-bloc-1401355769
This isn't really a shock to the world it's basically a trade agreement with those countries. Also USSR might fell in early 90s but a lot politician kept their positions. They change their name & how the runs things but still have USSR type people in office. Also if USSR comes back to be it's not going to be like it was throughtout mid & late 20th century but much different because how different communication is nowadays. Anyways this how i understand the situation without looking into news articles or media outlets.
