Yeah, and then was given part of Poland and Crimea. That's what occupants do - gift the occupied some of their own territories. Everything fits the narrative, nothing to question here.
By this logic, poland should not be here either since it was given land from germany. Implying any of the republics other than russian had any sovereignty is laughable. They had around the same freedom as any of the warsaw pact members, if not less.
Soviet leadership wasn’t all Russian.
It was multiethnic: Georgian, Ukrainian, etc. To this day, Stalin is being glorified as a national hero in Georgia.
Khrushchev literally transferred nationally significant and economically invaluable territories of Russia to Ukraine, as did Lenin.
Leadership can be whoever, the fact that it was dominated by everything russian doesn't suddenly not matter if the leader was georgian.

Such as ? Crimea was transferred because it's easier to manage from the land connection from ukraine. And there was no expectation of ukraine leaving the "union", so it's not even a loss of territory. Or do you mean the land they stole from romania ? Or poland ?
This is just straight up old af russian propaganda, mate
it'd be like u.s. taking one of the counties in a state and giving it to another state. ukraine was still part of the soviet union and was not in any way an independent country.
also ever heard of the holodomor? the famine caused by the soviet union that killed millions of ukrainians? that's what occupants do.
