I mean, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, do people genuinely miss the old system, or have they just been brainwashed? I met a girl from Russia, and she keeps saying things like “Communism was overhyped” and “people were so poor” basically the usual anti-communist talking points.

What is the communist party support and what they’re doing basically?

    . I was not expecting that because she’s claiming that her grandfather was a bureaucrat in SU

    Her grandfather was probably cynical and corrupt and took advantage of the collapse of the soviet union to emigrate to the usa. One thing needs to be made clear, there is an inherent class dynamic (even in Scandinavian countries) on who is able to communicate effectively in english and who gets to immigrate to america.
