Thinking the USSR was better and being a Fascist are sadly not mutually exclusive, just look at NazBols for instance.

Sadly, a lot of Ukrainians are aware that the USSR was significantly better than the liberal state that followed for them, but instead of going down the “oh, we should be moving back towards Marxism” route, they get gated by foreign influencers towards supporting far-right politicians who promise a return to USSR-like conditions. Much in the same way western reactionaries talk about going back to the “good ol’ days”, but argue that the only way to return there is via far-right policy.

Actually, much higher in Russia right now. Here’s a recent poll from Russia:

75% of Russians have expressed increasingly positive opinions about the Soviet Union over the years. Only a small portion of those surveyed said they had negative associations with the Soviet Union. The economic deficit, long lines and coupons were named by 4% of respondents each, while the Iron Curtain, economic stagnation and political repressions were named by 1% each, the Levada Center said.

And here’s another poll showing that most people think the Soviet economic system was more correct
