The USSR was a major adversary for roughly 45 years, 1946 to 1991. The US provided them major economic aid in WWII which they leveraged into a massive expansion and had minimal interaction before the war.

Russia is a politically distinct fragment of that empire, just like Ukraine.

Indeed “glavniy protivnik/glavniy vrag” is what USSR used to call USA!

Nope. It wasn't. It was the most likely adversary. Вероятный.

Ok “probable adversary” I stand corrected. I thought that one was a joke.
