Maybe you’ll understand it better when I put it this way: The effect of the Soviet Union on the Russian people was devastating economically, socially and industrially. Russia was oppressed by the Soviets to the depths of its soul.
If you still can’t understand what I’m saying, then I challenge you to contemplate the number of people in control of the Soviet Union compared with the number of people they were controlling.
“Russia was oppressed by the Soviets to the depths of its soul.”
Under the Soviets the Russian people were oppressed by a bunch of criminal gangsters who used communism as cover. These days the Russian people are people are oppressed by a bunch of criminal gangsters who don’t bother with a political cover.

The ‘’soviets’’ were Russians. “Soviet’’ means ‘’council’’ in Russian.
The Russians did this to themselves.
