I think you're talking past me a little. I'm saying the state of Russia now isn't materially different from Cuba, Laos, North Korea et al

I mean, yeah? If you generalized enough lots of things can be said to not be materially different, and that's not invalid, but this state has fundamentally different causes and elements and therefore can't be lumped together, lest we make the mistake of ignoring the lessons of history.
