"The borders of the U.S.S.R. will be restored peacefully," Russia's firebrand politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky recently told TIME. "Ukraine and Belarus will be the first to rejoin Russia. Tajikistan, Armenia and Abkhazia are begging to be taken back as Russian provinces. As for the Baltics, they are welcome to their independence -- if they have sufficient resources to sustain it after we cut short all energy supplies. Sure, they'll be independent, but they'll fall ages behind...
