I never considered it a democracy. It’s one-party system with two parties, what can be democratic about it? Smoke and mirrors.

My point is that the polls mentioned in the wiki seem to not be mentioning socio-economic systems, but the USSR country and it’s culture, as well as it’s dissolution (which was handled like shit in most of the countries AFAIK).

ex-Soviet citizens prefer Socialism.

That’s not exactly what the polls in the article were about though?

The article seems to be missing polling history from countries that don’t support it’s thesis, like Poland.
