Which is why you should support China, as a recent Harvard Kennedy School survey found that over 93% of the Chinese people are satisfied with their central government.

Facts don’t care about your feelings
51% isnt exactly a great stat. good for russia, mixed for other soviet states
This is 29 years after the final end of the Soviet Union, during which time there has been no mainstream communist propaganda or viewpoints and constant anti-Soviet anti-communist propaganda. And still 51% of people aren’t believing the BS and know they had or could have had better lives during the Soviet era.
To put things in perspective a good chunk of those 51% are ethnic Russians who’d rather enjoy the cultural/linguistic status the would have had in the USSR as opposed to the marginalisation they feel now. Very little to do with communism.
i still think the difference of opinion between russians and other former soviet states is significant
