Have you considered doing your own homework?
I've been to Russia, and from what I see it's a split amongst older people, while younger people generally despise the USSR. The most divise figure, I found, is Gorbachov, with half the boomers loving him for bringing pepsi and macdonalds to Russia and the other half hating him for imploding the Soviet system. I've only been to St Petersburg and Moscow though, so maybe a Russian user from the countryside can provide a better picture of the situation. I was shocked, since I expected everyone to love Gorbachov and to hate the USSR
This guy has the best scope from a non-Russian.
To add to it anyone probably living a adult life prior to Gorbachev's rule hated the Soviet union. But Gorbachev also did bankrupt Russia for pissing contests with the US.
Putin's propaganda blames the collapse of the Soviets west. And the Soviet Union itself as a very sensible state. Especially the Stalin years.
Although all intellectuals are pro-European. At least among young people. So I think everything will change soon.
In short, people 55 and older are good. People from 30 to 55 are mostly indifferent or like Brezhnev rather than Stalin. Up to 30 already rather want it to be like in Europe.
I will also attach a clip where a Christian libertarian came to the Stalinist march. You can look at the lovers of the USSR

I listened to a lecture by Yevgeny Ponasenkov and he seemed very critical of the USSR. I was surprised he unironically used the term "Evil Empire" describing it.
Be like Europe as in pavement apes or like Europe as in capitalism and democracy?
People are nostalgic for prestige and power. USSR somehow has retained good PR all over the world and in Russia especially. Some positive aspects are cherrypicked and exagerated.
Very hilarious example - Плoмбиp icecream. In short it was pretty good, so somehow by that logic it proves that USSR was amazing. Many such cases.
Younger generations are either pro-communist, neo-nazi gopniks or indifferent drug addicts. Most of bigger cities are filled with Russia-hating liberals. Basically same libs as you have, they hate inwards too and are absolute (((cucks))).
All political discourse is INCREDIBLY basic, ever saw those FleccasTalks interviews from lib rallies? Imagine that but across the entire spectrum.
I honestly don't fucking miss that shithole and I'm glad I escaped it. Miss the Плoмбиp though.
So that everything is like in Germany, but without the Arabs.
About the economic system, they do not particularly think. But they definitely want democracy.
Revolution was a big historical tragedy for Russia.
Genocide of people. War on "russian
chauvinism". Exile and murder of intelligentsia. Decades of gibs, ruined gender rolls, entrepreneurship punished. No wonder Russia is in decadence now.
We need few generations of recovery. But with globalism, kleptocracy and worldwide degeneracy it's going be kinda hard.
I hope they don't want to copy all of it. It won't be possible to have have a society like germany without the eventual side effects of pointless and destructive cuckery.
45+ Russian here. Good fucking riddance.
We have a lot of good things in USSR btw.
Science, military etc.
Todays Russia is a logical continuation of those years, so come see and tell me was is good or not.
And Stalin was better than psycho (((Trotsky))). Best of those comme shoblayobla
The Russian is sure that the German is a superman. This even the second world could not knock out.
Yes, Trotsky is literally Pol Pot.
Thank you for the responses. They are very interesting. I'm not to lazy to research, I just wanted some current responses from pol users
Bonus Round: What do Russians think about all the unsubstantiated rumors about collusion with Trump?
you have to read books in order to get a true picture of what it was like. Young Russians didn't really live through it and old Russians will be too blinded by nostalgia for their youth to give an unbiased answer
Yes I am as interested as in how it is remembered as how it actually happened haha
And how it was actually experienced rather than how it is written in a book.
Everyone thinks we did nothing.
That is, the Democrats were offended by the defeat and began to lie.
Although there are the most stupid liberals who believe everything that writes the voice of America. But they are very few.
Total bullshit
Soviet Union in early 80s - modern day United States. Modern day Russia - something completely different from USSR and USA.
I'm 42 yo Russian.
