Who the hell knows why. Communism understands nihilism a lot better than building societies. So, the effects are a more random.

  Then you agree that the title's association is pretty meaningless? And apologize for falsely claiming I'm cheering on communist governments?

    The harm communist regimes have had on culture is well documented. Whether its cooking or religion or whatever. I put the blame on the common ideology. Yes, I apoligize for claiming you were defending communism. But if you weren't, I think maybe you were just being overly pedantic then? The effect communism has had is pretty clear.

      Which is why I pointed out the mass starvation and "re-education" camps of Vietnam and China! That wasn't to leave out the same horrors of the Soviet Era, but to highlight how blaming Communism as an ideology is not enough to explain why Russian food culture changed.
