The delusion so heavy that I just don’t have the time to unwrap this. Sorry, mate.
I’ll just touch on two points:
The large majority of those who lived in the USSR regret its fall
These kinds of “analyses” are useless, since 90% of respondents don’t actually reply on-topic. They go “oh, yeah, I used to be carefree young and healthy back then, it used to be better”. ANY data like that coming from russia is 100% useless, because these people have been brainwash through the last 400 years into blind obedience. There was a famous interview with an unemployed guy, who would go “yeah, I used to have a job, I used to earn enough money to support my family, I’m unemployed for the past 10 years and life is getting harder and harder, Putin is the greatest president in russia’s history”.
Also, the data in the article is not about “regretting the fall of the USSR” but rather about “being better/worse off than during USSR”, and “wanting more socialism” (which is understandable, considering the cancer that capitalism is).
I don’t know how you read that text and went “people want USSR back”, I can only assume you being so filled with misinformation and propaganda, and just flat out ignorance, that you saw “socialism” and interpreted that as “USSR”, which is a double-whammy of wrong.
The death of Stalin in 1953 voided the simplistic totalitarian model of the police-state USSR as the epitome of the totalitarian state (…) the academic field of Kremlinology (analysing politburo policy politics) produced historical and policy analyses dominated by the totalitarian model of the USSR as a police state controlled by the absolute power of the supreme leader Stalin, who heads a monolithic, centralised hierarchy of government
After Stalin it changed from “dictatorship” to “party-ship”, where it was the Party that held full, unlimited control over the country.
As for all the rest - again, I just don’t have the time to unwrap this because your beliefs seem to stem from years, and years of misinformation. Might as well end this here.
Sorry buddy, but you’re wrong, and trying to brush facts you don’t like under the rug by saying Russians are too stupid to know that their lives were better under socialism. Wikipedia is extremely biased, I can link sources like Soviet Democracy by Pat Sloan that go far more in-depth and illustrate the democratic procedures of the soviet union.
