Maybe it was taught that way in Russian schools, but I don't know anyone in any part of the West who considers the end of the Cold War to have been a "truce between equals." The Soviet Union collapsed. The Russian Federation is the internationally recognized successor state to a failed empire. It was so in the 90s as much as it is so today.
