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.
I told you I was borm in the USSR. I don't need to listen to anyone. I have this information first hand. Jesus christ, I cannot talk to commies without losing braincells...
The condintions are FUCKING GALAXIES better than the what was happening during illegal USSR occupation. And are currently FAR better than they currently are in terrorist russia.
"polling" lmao. Just like polling in Crimea... Invade, occupy, poll...
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.
