Perestroika destroyed USSR, Russians think - RBC, 15.03.2005, Moscow 15:47:13.Almost a half of all Russians (48%) believe that the USSR's collapse was Perestroika's main consequence, an opinion poll, conducted by ROMIR Monitoring in connection with the 20th anniversary of the beginning of Soviet political reforms (known as Perestroika), has shown. Thirty percent of the respondents believe that the country lost its status as a superpower as a result of Perestroika.

Hmmmm....

Russians mostly dislike perestroika + Perestroika destroyed USSR = Russians miss Soviet Union?

What's wrong with my logic jb?

As usual you see the trees not the forest. When people complain it destroyed the USSR, they're not complaining about the screwed up Soviet Economy or Soviet Government (try as you can the Communists only garner 13% of the vote and have been dropping for the past 3 elections). They're complaining about the national integrity.

Your simplistic trash can logic misses one important fact. The Russian people will never go back to communism. They more than any other people know communism does not work.
