A few posts ago, I commented that since none of the the original components of the U.S.S.R. (Union, Soviet, Socialist, or Republic) applied to the new Russia, there wasn't much chance of the CCCP really coming back.
Well, this week former Prime Minister, former President, and now current Prime Minister Medvedev announced his plan to unite all of the former Soviet republics under one currency by 2015.
So let's pencil in a check next to "Union."
