Not really. There were some that felt that way in the later parts of the USSR, but the broad majority still supported socialism and wished to maintain it. In socialist countried today, they are overwhelmingly crirical of capitalism and supportive of socialism. Liberals exist in socialist countries, sure, but they aren't the mainstream.
Not sure about the USSR but in east Germany there are 2 camps: those who profited from the socialist system and are in full support, and those burned by the socialist government are some of the biggest anti-socialists I know
East Germany is especially complicated considering when the Berlin Wall fell the communists were all purged from their positions, many in show trials.
