But those who lived back in the good old days
They always tell you otherwise
But they'll always be a rebellious minority
The Education of a True Believer by Lev Kopelev. New York, Harper & Row, 1980 (Originally published in the US in Russian, 1978).
Heres a book

What do people think of the ussr who were living in the ussr?
>They miss it, especially people who experienced both. This seems to be a reasonably reliable objective report of a survey that is pretty typical: “According to the latest poll conducted by the independent research agency Levada Center, the proportion of those who confessed to negative feelings over the collapse of the USSR is currently 56 percent, with 28 percent claiming their sentiments are entirely positive and 16 percent deeming the question too complex to give an unambiguous answer.”
>It's not easy to say why because there are many factors involved. One is the collapse of the Soviet Union as a world superpower and the concomitant loss of prestige. In a very unMarxist way, nationalism was a strong force in the old Soviet Union. For example, they call their part of World War II, you know, the part that actually beat the Nazis at the cost of 25 million lives, “"The great patriotic war.”
>Then there is the loss of the non-Russian republics, and one of the Russian Belarus, which geographically and in other ways diminished deal of the USSR. That is part of why Russia a brutal war to stop the secession of Chechnya, when Russians as a group tend to hate Chechyans and vice versa, and after the other Republics seceded by agreement with a kiss and a handshake.
>And there is the fact, pointed out by a lot of the commentators here, that living standards and social welfare dropped precipitously for most people in Russia and the former Soviet republics. Things have improved considerably on that dimension under Putin, although at the end of the Yeltsin era they had nowhere to go but up, just one reason Putin is as popular as he is, and he really is incredibly popular.
