    Great, good for you. I grew up in one of USSR satellite states, and it sucked balls.
    Poverty was widespread, and if you dared to complain you were disappeared.
    Surprisingly, my life is not that bad now. If anything, I wish USSR had fallen sooner.

      Ah yes, the good old, fuck you I got mine. The fall of USSR meant that millions of people had their lives destroyed. But little scumbag here is doing fine.

      You said in other post that you grew up in post-communist country. Stop lying.

          But if they grew up in a post communist state their experience about USSR doesn’t hold, they didn’t live during USSR, they lived after it.

            I’m sure there is some conflating going on with the fall of communism and the “shock therapy” after. Even if not, it’s not really like the 80s under Gorb were really what any left leaning person likes to recall when we think of the Soviet union.
