Nationalism may have been responsible for WW2, in which Germany, Italy, and Japan promoted themselves as conquerors. But the Communist Nations of the Cold War didn't neccessarily promote THEIR own countries, as much as they did the "Comrade" bit..."Communism." For US GI's fighting in Korea or Vietnam the enemy were "Commies!" Soviets, Red Chinese, North Koreans, North Vietnamese, Viet Cong...were all "Commies." Or "Reds."

Nationalism is devotion to one's nation. If the Soviets had nationalism to the Soviet Union it may not have collapsed. It is possible that they had "nationalism" (devotion) to Russia, and therefore wanted the Soviet Union to collapse, thus re-establishing their devotion to Russia.
