  România in my case. Having spoken to many people older than myself, they mostly wanted the west to allow trade, not capitalism. Some listened to Radio Free Europe; some of what was transmitted was clearly false to them, other things were unclear and merely created doubt. Almost all believe that 89 was a US-backed coup, some even recount anecdotes about English speaking men breaking shop windows or filming.
