Some machine translated quotes from the article:

The film “Red Project”, released by the channel “Russia” for the centenary of the USSR, broke television ratings not just because it was perfectly made. It restored historical justice. For the first time in many years, the truth was clearly said: the USSR — is the greatest experiment of our people, the glorious pages of our history, our grand contribution to the development of mankind.

Since the late 1980s, this idea has been consistently wiped, muffled, and taken away from the info-pol. All Soviet was accepted to be ashamed.

[…]

What was it for? To take away the most precious legacy from us: our great achievements of the 20th century. Plants went bankrupt, resources — were stolen, and at the same time the worst robbery was carried out, to which the defeated countries were subjected. The history of the people was stolen so that the people lost their will to accomplish.

Inside the country, this propaganda has jammed one simple truth, which, no matter how you hide it, was obvious to everyone: in the Soviet Union, people lived much better than in the “holy 90s”. And outside — was preparing the world community for future anti-Russian disinformation campaigns. Today’s Russophobia — is an ugly child of anti-Soviet propaganda.

[…]

The paradox is that the more Stalin was scolded in the infopol, the higher his rating among the people grew. The more fiercely they scolded the USSR, the better people treated it.

New generations — both in Russia and around the world — are all looking closely at the practices of socialism, studying our unique experience. The classic crisis of capitalism, of course, is growing the request for alternative models of state building.

Today we can admit that anti-Soviet propaganda has failed, despite all the billions pumped there. It was another round of info-war, and we quite successfully survived it.

[…]

Because the USSR — is the source of our strength and inspiration. This is a rich inheritance that we do not have the right to surrender to the enemy. These are the titans on whose shoulders we stand: Gagarin and Kapitsa, Prokofiev and Eisenstein, Lenin and Stalin, Bulgakov and Mayakovsky.

And these are the ideas of socialism, which are still resonating throughout the world. Our Soviet Union was the only country to be able to satisfy the eternal request for social justice. Today, when super-rich people purposefully doom billions of people to poverty, Soviet experience is simply invaluable.

    Don’t suppose anyone had a link to that film, “Red Project”, with English subs?

      You know, I also want English subtitles to it, even if its a rough and decent enough translation.

      I came across this series of documentaries on YouTube (in Russian) - not sure if it is the same film mentioned (they are listed under the same name, “Красный проект”), but they are on the topic of the USSR. No formal English subtitles, but YouTube can generate approximate translations (click CC - enable Closed Captions - then Settings > Auto-translate and pick the language).
