Reducing the USSR to just Russia, claiming that this "Russia" was somehow not ethnically diverse, Solshenizin soloing the USSR - according to the author, the usual ramblings about muh inefficient government factories, the pink lensed idea of how the US handles protest and dissent.

Yeah, I get what you mean.

thanks for elaborating better, comrade. another thing that ticked me was the separation of socialism to how soviet union was structured, instead of the other way. this is why i thought about chauvinism, in my understanding he points that su was prepared because russians toughened up through hardships
