That's not what the science says btw. If you go to Russia and ask old people about how they feel about the USSR, they are significantly more likely to have favourable views of the USSR than young people who didn't experience it. If you are interested, you can also look at Generational and Geographic Effects on Collective Memory of the USSR.
I won't deny the scientific studies.
