    I think it’s what I’d expect from someone (sort of reasonably) drunk on nostalgia for what was a genuinely better time refusing to admit that that time has unfortunately passed and said better time despite being better was not perfect or globally applicable without any tailoring to each places specific conditions.

      Yep. I think a good deal of the problem is the language barrier, but it’s unfortunate that it seems to be an unfortunate mixture of nostalgia with the jealousy of seeing socialism still being built in China while in Russia it’s a (for now) bygone era.
