That's what the Soviet citizens were saying about the citizens of the Western block too. The reality is, it's probably all the same. There are very subtle differences of course, which tend to be exaggerated.
- kmlx 7y agohaving lived in those times i cannot believe that comments such as yours exist. things were Horrible. i had relatives who were killed in the streets because they didn't aspire to the latest communist trend. and no travelling outside the country, or even outside your city in some circumstances. at least not without being part of the party. what about food? queue for 2 hours for a pint of milk, and meat only once per month because the party doesn't want to be indebted to capitalist countries. the famine and the pain that the communists brought is in a different world than the massive opportunities that we have today (and food, food is available everywhere now). i guess this teaches us something very important: history needs to be taught since the first school years.
