I would assume because the Soviet Union had a recognised successor state (being the Russian Federation), where as Yugoslavia did not have a recognised successor state.
Thou hast well said, Yugoslavia has no successor states: For Yugo hast had five successor states; and the domain thou now hast is not thy successor state: in that saidst thou truly.
More like 11 and a half by now. Or actually 10 and three quarters, depending on how you count. They are tirelessly working on bringing that number down.
> this more about their afforts to appeal to a certain part of domestic popularion
And yet, more than a million Russian lives alone were sacrificed to make the appeal reality.
Russia, like it or not, is actively busy restoring its older glorious days and unfortunately there is no sign of them coming anywhere near to a point where they can't sustain their losses any more. They're permanently losing upwards of 1000 soldiers per day, and that's not counting the injured, only deaths.
There's no Neo-Sovietism but Duginism. It's a like an even more hardcore version of the Spanish Francoism but a la Slavic way.
They hate science and praise the Orthodox ideology with high statism. And without a country-loving science China it's just getting a luxury present for free themselves.
They will progress like crazy with very little efforth and they could buy Russian assets for scraps.
And yes, Russia keeps invading, hacking, politically pressuring and organising disinformation campaigns to make these ex-USSR countries fall back into Russia's bloody wing.
According to an article from last year, .su might get retired by 2030

That is more political than otherwise. SU and EU both are exceptional reservations in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
And there is now a whole issue over .io that might disappear in the near future and take thousands of SaaS and AI companies with it.
Good riddance

The former Yugoslavia had five legally recognized successor states.

Students Unions all over the world are very happy about that

And about 14 countries.

You really think they'll stop after 14? Because I do not.
As is the geopolitical relevance and power.
An even superficial ideological orientation toward Marxism-Leninism is also missing.
We’d be living in a different world if Trotsky had succeeded Lenin.
How so? I understand you are talking about Ukrainian and Georgian wars, but even them are hardly an attempt to return to SU days.
I'm not even talking about very limited influence over other ex-USSR republics. It is there but very limited.
It's not just that. Putin and his gang are actively pushing what is now referred to as neo-sovietism:

Yes, but again - this more about their afforts to appeal to a certain part of domestic popularion rather than a fair attempt of rebuilding USSR.
It's more about "ice cream for 47 kopecks" rathan then anything else.

You're missing Moldova as well.

Sure, but so far this has nothing to do with bringing USSR back.
Yup, just a coincidence.
