And?

 

[Ringo]

And?

Save your Confederate money, boys!

 

[Meister]

Should we also talk about USA, for example, as collection of puppet states?

Those were individual countries that russia took over by force.
Not even comparable to the USA. Not even a good deflection, but......

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Save your Confederate money, boys!

How are those rubles doing?

A characteristic and distinctive feature of the Moscow state and the Russian Empire was indeed the voluntary entry into their composition of a number of peoples inhabiting huge areas: Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Kabarda, Kazakhstan, etc.
The history of no other European or Asian empire knows anything like this. The Palace of Westminster, for example, has never seen an embassy within its walls that arrived with a request to include its country in the possession as a British colony. Same for White house. But scenes like this were not uncommon for the chambers of the Moscow Kremlin.

They usually were begging for this.
Both during the period of the consolidation of Russian lands around Moscow in the XIV-XV centuries, and in the later era of the unification of non-Russian lands within multinational Russia, the same historical rhythm is traced, caused by the internal inconsistency of the integration process. Whether in Ryazan, near or in distant Kakheti, centripetal and centrifugal forces and aspirations operated simultaneously. From their confrontation, local "tides" to Moscow and "ebbs" from it were born alternately. It is easy to distinguish the general phases of such political cycles, which, repeating and fading, led to complete state unification:
1. an appeal to Moscow for military assistance;
2. help was received, and the crisis was overcome;
3. the military presence of Moscow (Russia) begins to weigh down, there is a desire to get rid of political dependence;
4. the restoration of the status quo with Moscow most often in alliance with former enemies;
5. resumption, as a rule, in a much more acute form of the old crisis;
6. return to Moscow.
The history of Ukraine's reunification with Russia is a clear example of this.
Bogdan Khmelnitsky, like the cossack leaders before him, repeatedly appealed to Russia with a request for accession. (16 times he sent to Moscow embassies with a plea to join Russia). The Moscow government hesitated for a long time and, no matter how autocratic it was, did not decide on its own, without advice "from all over the land", to start a war against the strongest Polish Commonwealth. Two Councils representing all estates of Russia were convened in 1651 and in 1653.
Moscow's hesitation and indecision are more than understandable: relations between Poland and Sweden, which blocked Russia's access to the Baltic, have heated up to the limit. The gap between them became inevitable, which gave the tsar the opportunity to finally resolve the Livonian question in alliance with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After heavy defeats, Muscovy was saving up its fighting forces precisely for the fight in the Baltic States, and here is a plea for help from the tormented Ukraine!
Nevertheless, the Zemsky Sobor of 1653 speaks out for the adoption of "Small Russia" (Ukraine) under the high hand of the sovereign of all Russia," and barely strengthened Russia, after the ruin of the early 17th century, re-enters the war, which lasted 14 years!. The strike of the tsarist troops in the Belarusian direction chained the main Polish forces there, which allows the Cossacks to clear the whole of Ukraine from the polish lords. The second phase is completed, the third begins.
The successor of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Hetman Vygovsky, raises a call for independence against the "Muscovites" in Ukrain cities, which sometimes expel them with an armed hand. He himself, together with the Crimean khan, smashes the Moscow cavalry under Konotop. After such a victory, "independence" in relation to Moscow immediately turns into dependence on Poland, which is in a hurry to recognize the privileges of the Cossack elders in order to return ordinary cossacks and the ukrainian peasantry to the polish oppression. Everything goes back to "normal."
A new cycle begins. The "black Rada", that is, one where "black (ordinary) people" are present, throws off Vygovsky, elects Yuri Khmelnitsky as hetman, plea before the tsar about the resumption of the "articles" of the Pereyaslav Rada ( The place where in 1654 was declared on unification with Russia) and about help against Poland. The Moscow army re-enters Ukraine, but it, too, betrayed by the Cossack elite, is forced to capitulate to the Poles at Chudnov (1660).

Then there were new Meetings, new hetmans (sometimes two, three at a time), new petitions and new treasons. It came to the point that the Crimean tatars, these "loyal allies in the struggle for independence", did not hesitate to exchange captured ukrainian girls and women right under the windows of the hetman's house. Torn apart by internecine strife, Ukraine was one solid ruin. Later, Ukrainian historians will call this troubled period just "Ruin".
And here is the way out of the turmoil and the end of the last cycle.
Ukrainian cities are asking the Moscow government to send troops into them. Moscow, referring to past "theft and treason," refuses. Then the ukrainian burghers ask the tsar to rule them "according to his sovereign will" in the same way as all other cities of the kingdom. In other words, the "articles" of the Pereyaslav Rada guaranteeing self-government within the boundaries of Magdeburg law for Ukrainian cities are crossed out by Ukrainians themselves.
On these conditions, that is, on the conditions of unconditional submission, tsarist Russia returns to Ukraine. Now Ukraine will not be afraid of any traitor: neither the townspeople nor the cossacks will follow him. He will become, first of all, the enemy of the ukrainian people themselves.
50 years later, when the Swedish king Charles XII invaded Ukraine, the traitor Hetman Mazepa promised him the support of the entire ukrainian people in the war with Russia, but only a miserable part of the Cossacks followed him. The Ukrainian people opposed the Swedes.

Did someone keep them then? In 1991, there were traitors in power in both Russia and Ukraine. They agreed.

Billions more taken by horses, cattle and sheep.

My guess would be the latter.
