Looks like it was true! Millions of people died when the USSR was illegally dissolved afterwards, and the majority of living former-soviets say they prefered the Soviet System.
Nearly all of the post-Soviet states suffered deep and prolonged recessions after shock therapy, with poverty increasing more than tenfold. Catastrophic drops in caloric intake followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
In 2017, another poll conducted by Pew Research Center found that 69% of Russians, 54% of Belarusians, 70% of Moldovans and 79% of Armenians claimed that the breakup of the Soviet Union was a bad thing for their country. With the exception of Estonia, the percentage of people who agreed with the statement was higher amongst people aged 35 or over. 57% of Georgians and 58% of Russians also said that Joseph Stalin played a very/mostly positive role in history.
The Economist, 2021: At 54, China’s average retirement age is too lowFor most men in China the age is 60, much lower than the average of 64.2 in the OECD, a club mostly of rich countries. For female civil servants the age is 55; for blue-collar women it is 50.
Show me polling that goes against the polling I provided. I refuse to trust a random internet stranger’s anecdote, especially when I have spoken with extremely pro-USSR former soviet citizens. Believe it or not, not everyone’s opinion is the same, hence the polling not being 100% in either direction.
What a bunch of fucking nonsense, holy shit…
Which part, specifically? Around 7 million people died during the years following the dissolution of the USSR, and it’s well-documented that most former soviets prefered that system.
Ah yes, that’s why so many former soviet countries wanted and now have independence and prosperity.
You fucking moron, soviets literally killed people by deporting to Siberia, quelling any sparks of independency, and starvation.
USSR was a shithole, and what’s left of it is still a shithole.
Kindly, a person who was born in the absolute ass-hair dingleberry that was the USSR.

How old are you, if I may ask?

I’m glad you brought up life expectancy. (For the lazy: terrorist russia is 111, while nearly all post-soviet europe countries are above)
You may not, commie.
Edit: commies: angry downvote
Yeah, many of the post-socialist states are in rough shape thanks to the imperial core’s shock therapy plundering of them.

Meanwhile in still-socialist states:
Worse conditions = freedom and prosperity, lol.
Do you dispute the records I gave you? Why would I listen purely to one person’s opinion, and not historical record and large-scale polling?
