Life may have been bleak, but that's not what you were saying.
You're taking anecdotes from one part of the Soviet Union and applying it to the whole thing. Would you say that Russians are immeasurably better off now than during Communism?
- ahomescu1 13y agoCan't speak about Russia, but other countries are much better off. Poland and Estonia come to mind right now. Also, I haven't heard any contradicting anecdotes from other parts of the Communist bloc. Life seems to have been mostly the same everywhere.
