Repudiate the Soviet union, by handing over Karelia to Finland and East Prussia to the Germans.
The second thing you should do is offer a free trade zone with all the former satellites, by which they can sell their goods free to Russia and vice versa.
The third is to intial market reforms, and strip away the controlled economy.
The fourth is to offer guarantees of independence to all the small republics. Only if you give California to Mexico first.
I'm not well informed about the state of our trade agreements, but I don't think there's a lot of restrictions. We're actually subsidizing some of our neighbours by selling raw commodities at a low price.
I agree that small businesses in Russia are in a sad state, but I'm against large corporations controlling our heavy industry and natural resourses. These should be nationalized if they already aren't.
Fourth is not a problem at all. We have never tried to annex any of the former Soviet republics.
