Nostalgia for the Soviet Union〔''(Why Russia Backs The Eurasian Union )''. Business Insider (from The Economist). August 22, 2014.〕 or Soviet nostalgia〔Nikitin, V. ''(Putin is exploiting the legacy of the Soviet Union to further Russia's ends in Ukraine )''. The Independent. 5 March 2014.〕〔Taylor, A. ''(Calls for a return to ‘Stalingrad’ name test the limits of Putin’s Soviet nostalgia )''. Washington Post. June 9, 2014〕 is a moral-psychological phenomenon in Russia and post-Soviet states, as well as persons born in the Soviet Union living abroad (Soviet people, Soviet generation). Nostalgia for the Soviet Union could be expressed in nostalgia for the politics of the Soviet Union, society, lifestyle, culture, or simply the aesthetics of the Soviet epoch. It results mainly from the frustration Russia experienced after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. While in Western Europe many politicians - especially ''Volker Rühe'', Minister of Defence for Germany - called for the eventual integration of Russia into ''NATO'' and the ''EU'', such endeavours were nipped in the bud by the categorical resistance of the United States of America. Subsequently, the economy was changed from a socialist planned economy to robber-baron capitalism, which eventuated the rise of Russian oligarchs who made fortunes in depleting the country's natural resources (see ''Gazprom''). The living standard subsequently fell and gave rise to a renaissance of Russian nationalism. On April 25, 2005 the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, stated that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the 20th century.〔(Putin deplores collapse of USSR )''.
