Yes, I could read that kind of stuff, but I would also find opinions of people who also grew up in the SU and miss it. In fact, I've recently read about polls where 60% of the russians regret the end of the USSR. So, I think this is not something black or white. You had to actually live there, not just watch it through television.
- Fins 8y agoThere very much are people who miss the USSR. Some are paid for it. Some honestly miss it because... well, I don't want to go into analyzing national mentality here, but there's a Russian saying that goes "if they are afraid of us, it means that they respect us". And people certainly were afraid of USSR. This perceived loss of respect drives a lot of nostalgia for the USSR.
