      It seems any time I read about some big Soviet (USSR) research/innovation/accomplishment, the scientists and engineers making those achievement were… Ukranian. Makes me wonder if Putin wants to conquer Ukraine to indenture all of that talent again because Russia has been stagnating since the collapse of the USSR.

      That’s just a theory of mine, take it as you will.
