Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed the view that Russia's integration with post-Soviet states is part of a "re-Sovietization" program.
"It is strange for me to hear some of our colleagues abroad say that we are moving down the path of integration and that this is the revival of Russia's ambitions as the former Soviet Union," he said, as cited by RIA Novosti, adding, "What utter nonsense."
In an article published in The Financial Times last Thursday US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Russia is trying to recreate a new version of the Soviet Union under the guise of economic integration.
"There is a move to re-Sovietize the region," she said. "It's not going to be called that. It's going to be called a customs union, it will be called Eurasian Union and all of that."
"But let's make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and we are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it."
Last Friday, Russian NATO envoy Alexander Grushko already refuted the claims by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that Russia is aiming to "re-Sovietize" Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
On Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin said post-Soviet integration was a "natural process" driven by mutual economic interests and that the countries that make up organizations such as the Customs Union have more in common than member states of many organizations elsewhere.
"We have a common language, a common mentality up to a point, common transport infrastructure and common energy infrastructure," Putin said.
He recalled that integration associations exist in all countries, in particular the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
