"A superpower is a cold war term. When people today say that Russia aspires to have this status, I interpret it in the following way: they want to undermine trust in Russia, to portray Russia as frightening, and create some kind of image of an enemy. ... Russia is in favor of a multipolar world, a democratic world order, strengthening the system of international law, and for developing a legal system in which any small country, even a very small country, can feel itself secure, as if behind a stone wall. ... Russia is ready to become part of this multipolar world and guarantee that the international community observes these rules. And not as a superpower with special rights, but rather as an equal among equals" - Vladimir Putin
Why is it that Russia is ALWAYS viewed negatively in the media? The Soviet Union did not do anything wrong at all except try to spread their idiology. Modern day Russia is always viewed as "the bad guy". What gives? It is a great nation with a unified populace if you take out he chechyns
