Many nations of so-called 3rd world still grateful to Russia and hate the USA. The USSR was making really helpful things for them except communist slogans and propaganda.Soviet engineers and technicians built hydro-electric plants, developed infrastructure and supplied weaponry to fight north-american imperialism. The USA brought nothing short of violence and devastation. That's why Russia mostly has friends around the globe while the USA has mostly servants. Ask people of Vietnam, Cuba, Nicaragua, India, Iran, Venesuela, Syria, Serbia, Libya etc.
