How many Soviet republics were there?

Let's break it down point by point: 1. Millions – that's how many? Please provide a specific number. And are liberal reforms less inhumane if Russia's population is decreasing by almost 500,000 per year, with no economic growth? 2. World revolution and world domination are different things. The USA also strives for world domination, but it doesn't build communism in other countries at its own expense; instead, it extracts all their resources. 3. Have you read the programs of the RCP(b) and the CPSU? Please elaborate on the points about inhumanity. 4. Were there alternative ways to increase the country's power in 20 years? It's easy to talk about inhumanity, but the result was there. And now, more people are dying, and there are no results.
