Except for being too cold and the novels being too long, the united States has literally every problem it did at its worst. Many of them to a greater degree. Plus a few more it never did.
Yeah I can find a million boomers who think they had a better life growing up too. They still lived in a shitty racist homophobic discriminatory society.
I don’t even need to go so far to find one. My father, born in USSR on a land that is currently an European country. He dreams about USSR and loathes what our country has become. He has citizenship of our country and with all his love to Russia, and the fact that he speaks fluent Russian - he would not move to Russia in any time. No matter how supportive he is towards Russia, I am sure that deep inside he knows that his life would be fucked if he would move there.
Another interesting person I know is an old man who refused to get citizenship after fall of the USSR. 30 years he lived in EU and didnt really wanted to learn local language and get citizenship. Since the war started, out politics made a move to get rid of russians and their culture (I dont respect it, but it, to a certain degree, makes sense). So he got himself in a pickle - either learn language and pass an exam, or you gonna be deported back to Russia where he shares language and culture. He passed language exam from a second try. Still supports Russia tho.
And another guy - programmer who was working for USA pretty much all the 2000 - mid 2010s, yet also refused to learn language. He moved to Russia during the dawn of a Ukrainian war. Heard recently that he came back. Wonder why…
These boomers just are nostalgic about their childhood. Nothing actual to support their love to Russia.
Some people liked it, some people didn’t. There were winners and losers. Alot of people who lived thru it and really didn’t like it at the time miss aspects of it (like Americans looking at our past with rose colored glasses) or think it was better than what Russia has become under Putin
The USSR was a fucking shit hole

Your mom (that image)!
Soviets: “I had a perfect life!”
Americans: “your mom!”
Read the second half, dear.
I still don’t get it. Maybe I’m dumb.
