Doesn't matter. I have spoken to people from the Soviet Union. I don't personally need to be from the Soviet Union to read on its history, or the devaststion that came from its dissolution, and you saying you or someone you knew was from it doesn't invalidate those I have spoken to and the research I've done. It's lazy, anecdotes matter very little in the face of hard metrics and facts.

I wasn't born in the Soviet union, but I have asked lots of more older people, all were negative, the best thing they said was that they built schools... and those were mostly the ones they destroyed, and have you noticed a pattern in .ml users which support what the Soviet union most if not all of them didn't experience it or live in a place where it was you just glaze china, Russia and etc.

I've asked many people who were born in the USSR, and I think about half of them feel that the shit we’ve had since then is way worse.

It wasn't perfect by any means, but I think we should have improved it with reforms instead of splitting into poor countries and giving all the power to oligarchs.
