#idk i hate it when vanya is only narrowed down to a communist and nothing else
Text
Someday I will write 90s Amerus fic. That day isn’t now (biggest writing block rn), but someday. Many of the 90s fics in the English fandom are too incorrect in my opinion when it comes to historical contexts — and I know why, but it is 😄 grating
#russian and american/western perspectives are divided on the 90s#and my sources are russian bc duh theyre also the biggest losers in the 90s. so ofc I study them#i find western perspectives abt the 90s to be rly underwhelming#which. well. they didnt go thru the pains personally. so maybe#but for vanya it was downright traumatizing ptsd worthy#ptsd mine#many many thoughts abt this#such as: no vanya wasnt SAD per se abt ussr dissolving. he lit had a hand in this via Yeltsin#idk i hate it when vanya is only narrowed down to a communist and nothing else#gorbachev lit adopted democratic-ish measures nearing the fall of ussr#vanya was rather open to the whole idea bruh. he embraced independence as a federation#he wasnt happy kicking giggling abt it but he embraced the change. ussr also feel much less chaotically than the empire (revolution)#so he wasnt just… some proud power hungry commie mourning lost power#didnt say that side is absent completely but it is more nuanced than that yknow#also RF prob thought things would stay the sameish power wise just that it is no longer commie (gross oversimplification just for this post)#but most ppl lack nuance in thinking 😄#kinda giving the vibe of just ‘ussr/russia loser america winner’#not even founded in reality#also Yeltsin was America’s bitch but I can see this isnt a popular opinion in the other side#heyyy Vanya understood what Alfred was doing and was in a way compliant
