Isn't it Ukraine that was founded in the breakup of the USSR?
Yes, it was, just like Russia so they are equal heirs of the USSR. :))
Didn't Ukraine just take everything that the Soviets built in that country?
I see - to you Soviets are mythical creatures which dropped from space and ruled both Ukrainians and Russians and others. :):):)
No, Soviets were both Russians and Ukrainians. Guess - where was First Secretary Kruschev born???? :):):)
Did they pay Russia for any of it or did it just appear and they kept it?
Why should anybody pay anything to anybody if the Republics in the Soviet Union were equal according to their constitution???? In legal terms, whatever was built or constructed in a given republic, it belonged to it. You`d better check your sources. :):)
Now you know why I complained about your logic.
I see it wasn`t really logic but pure historical ignorance. Never mind. :):):)
But the Mexicans are welcome to try to take backYes, exactly, that`s what they have been doing for decades. :):):)
Have you ever read that hilarious book Paradise by Patrick Dennins from 1970? I read it several times coz it is so comically written. It has Mexican workers` motifs.
