Three out of four Russians think the Soviet era was the best time in their country’s history, according to a survey published by the independent Levada Center pollster on Tuesday.
Eh, sorta if you were like around the early 2000s. That was very much the case, but i would say starting around the 2010s the Russian youths opinion on liberalism largely began to sour. This, combined with the continual deterioration of living conditions within Russia (which, even by Bourgeoise metrics that only count GDP per capita, hasnt recovered back to its 1980s level USSR.) as well as the increasing obvious material degradation of the west has led to much of the Russian youths to largely be turned of by liberalism and domestic capitalist populism, with many instead turning to socialist movements, like the KPRF, instead.
Now has the russian government taken steps to surpress the growing socialists movements within Russia, yes, but there’s only so much they can do, especially nowadays where Russia’s main trade partner, China, can and has exerted significantly levels to political influence to largely deter any form of significant repressions against the main socialist political forces within Russia (e.g., the KPRF)
