Russian President Vladimir Putin said the U.S. was making the same mistakes now that the Soviet Union did in the past. Sending Soviet troops to suppress the anti-Soviet uprisings and liberalization attempts in communist Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 was a mistake, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Tuesday.
‘It is not right to do something in foreign policy that harms the interests of other peoples,’ Putin said, referring to Russia’s position that the West is interfering in its affairs and ignoring its security concerns about NATO’s eastward expansion. Putin said the U.S. was making the same mistakes as the Soviet Union, saying Washington ‘has no friends, only interests.’
The 1956 Hungarian War of Independence was defeated by Soviet tanks and troops, and at least 2,600 Hungarian soldiers lost their lives in the fighting. The Prague Spring of 1968 was also ended by the invasion of Soviet forces, with 137 deaths, according to Czech historians.

In Hungary, the issue entered the limelight after news that a Russian history textbook written for 11th grade students by Vladimir Medinsky, former Russian minister of culture and current adviser to Putin, called 1956 a ‘fascist uprising.’ The Russian embassy in Budapest later denied that the final version of the textbook actually made this assertion.

Michael Walsh Stories and Books 
The Soviet Union was a mistake, created by Western bankers for the purpose of exploiting the Russian Empire. The gold at the time of the Soviet victory didn’t end up in Soviet banks. It ended up in London and New York. The collectivization of farms and the brutal murder of Ukrainians and Russians from starvation was just another payment method for the parasites who destroyed Russia. All wars are banker’s wars. Only after the fall of the Soviet Union has Russia finally come into its own, again. Russia needs a secure boundary and will not follow the insane Western Globalist agenda and, that is the reason for the current conflict.
