Not really true to be honest. The USSR had a long history of destabilizing 3rd world govts all around the world Roush their commie agenda.. We fought them in many countries where they tried to start revolutions to overthrow the govts.
Soon Putin took power he started making moves aginst former Soviet states if they didn't stay under his thumb. Russia invaded several countries long before Ukraine for example. Putin has done what He's doing now since the beginning..
