I'm curious about the age breakdown on this.
I'm guessing that a lot of this "nostalgia" is among people too young to remember what it was really like.

How about polling the youth ages 18-35?
I'll bet the results would change.

Some peoples have a tradition of oppression and torture.
Even when freedom is handed to them on a silver platter, they prefer the "good old days" of living like dogs.
Just look at Iraq.

The proportion of people voting openly communist is 4 times greater in Ukraine than Russia. About 20% communist in Ukraine -- so the 20% nostalgic doesn't surprise me. The big number of people who say they want it but it isn't possible, bringing total over 50%, that surprises me.
Then again even the USA has a really huge number of people who want free health care and think it is a right... That could turn us far more socialist than we are today, very quickly. Entitlement mentality is a cancer.

On March 17, 1991, more than 70% of Ukrainians voted for preserving the U.S.S.R.Just love how the Russian "RIA Novosti" threw that one in there. lol
IN THE 1991 DECEMBER NATIONAL REFERENDUM, 90% OF THE POPULATION VOTED FOR INDEPENDENCE.
Ukrainian run story: http://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2006/2/22/39044.htm (in Ukrainian).
Gives breakdown among regions- 83.7% in W. Ukraine against USSR. But 51.7% in the East and 73.4% in the South for USSR.

About 50% of Ukrainians want to live back in the Soviet Union, a national pollster said Monday.
A total of 51.3% of respondents were against a return to Soviet times. NO conflict here

Looks like the Orange Revolution was short lived. Putin will be getting the Ukraine back this year.
Now, let's see what the putinists say.
To: Timedrifter
Same in Serbia.
Older people remember communism, actualy only good things and not bad ones.
Horible is situation when we are opressed by Soros-Leftist in regime, communism didnt died, just transformed, and we miss strong conservative party. Primeminister Kostunica is conservative, but anti-Christianic liberals are getting stronger payed by Clintonians
