    wtf you talking about “loss of hope” bruh. The Soviets right after WW2 were probably the most hopeful a people has ever been.

    edit: or do you mean the loss of hope we currently experience from living in a post-covid recession where jobs do not keep up with inflation, unemployment is soaring, and rent has been out of proportion for the past 20 years or more? that kind of “hope”?

      What was the story again of the guy being talked out of suicide with the argument that he’d miss the next five-year-plan? Even during the phase of rapid industrialization, the soviet people were extremely hopeful.
