But most are glad to have thrown off the old system right? That was really my point in making the comparison between other Eastern European countries and Russia when I read that so many in the Soviet Union wouldnt mind going back to the way it was. Sure, people are glad that we are no longer communist country. I think that in Russia most of them dont wont SU back either. Russians have different mentality, they have no problem living poorly without democracy if only their country is powerful. That is why they support Putin, he gives them such illusion.

Your analysis is flawed because your perspective is
anti Russian not anti Soviet Union.
BIG DIFFERENCE!

God bless Putin. I was always opposed to Moscow until he came along.
