Is it true Russians liked the Soviet Union?

i liek ur moms pussy

No, my economics teacher was a Soviet economist from Russia. When he immigrated with his wife to the U.S., they went to the grocery store. He had parked the car while his wife inside.

He went inside to see his wife crying on her knees with at least three different brands of beans in her hands. She had never seen that much food in her life.

It doesn't necessarily means they didn't like the USSR.
>>
>>61080568
what is her name?
>>
>>61080788
She felt very angry at the USSR for keeping this luxury a secret and never went back, even after the wall fell. She hoarded like mad her first few months there.

This story is fishy.

They miss the influence. I don't think they had cops goof off while mobsters torture orphans for sport under the Soviets.
>>
>>61080734
Yeah me too, my Jewish teacher that survived the holocaust said when he escaped the death camps and made it to the Americans he cried tears of joy. Really got me thinking.
>>
>>61081996
Yes. I remember that time. Such big crowds were in big cities, small towns were better supplied with goods. Now everything is changed -- small town have to survive.
>>
>>61080568
>>61080734
Some did, some didn't.

>>61081330
And this is poor people standing for social help. In USSR people had money, but had no goods, because its industry was producing weapons.
>>
>>61083679
or they can like drive 10-15km to a bigger town nearby where there's a maxima or at least an aibė
>>
>>61084100
Yes, even in another country. But cars were rare in USSR. People waited for years to buy it.

Russians are just nostalgic. It's human nature. In my time everything used to be so much better blablabala oh im born in the wrong generation I hate this one blablablabla.

Disgusting. 0/10 would not bang.

Isn't part of it nostalgia?

Same reason some people see 1950s as a better time in America.
>>
>>61088526
1950's America was heaven on earth though
>>
>>61080568
I think it's mainly rosy retrospection on behalf of the Russian people. They think it's shit now, and think that it wasn't so much back then.
>>
>>61088583
When everything fun was frowned upon, people were getting murdered all the time and most families could afford one car. Also, the fear of getting helplessly vaporized by Russians.

1950s wasn't that good, just has a lot of iconic imagery. Most people were far worse off back then.
>>
>>61088526
>>61088583
Like 1960-1970 Italy was heaven on earth, but fucking baby boomers ruined it.
>>
>>61088583
))) Yeah, man? That was because blacks knew their role of slaves, nazies were broken and USSR was still a friend? Your american land didn't know boots of nazies, that's why they were happy.
>>
>>61089486
50s American Politics was basically about how the USSR was trying to infiltrate everything/wants to try to nuke the US.
>>
>>61080734
same here. I cryied the first time I went to the US, I've never seen so many burgers in my life
>>
>>61081160
These people are waiting in line for hope of buying a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk if the store isn't already run out of stock.

>>61081330
These people are waiting in line to buy smartphones (sold in other parts of the world for 900 dollars) for a discounted price of 90 dollars, flat screen smart-tv's, expensive high status brand clothes for below 5 bucks.

>>61080897
Even Boris Yeltsin was flabbergasted by what was available in western stores.

Also see the banana shortage after the fall of the Berlin Wall. East Germans bought them up like crack because they didn't realize how accessible bananas were.
