    “Please, Russians, don’t wish Communism back. We’d lose our privileges.” is the energy that type of article gives me.

      “We’d lose our privileges”

      Motherfucker, the collapse of the USSR literally caused one of the greatest peacetime humanitarian crises. Children were going into prostitution to survive, and oligarchs were selling the country out and robbing it blind.

      If anything, people under socialism had more privileges than they did under the contemporary Russian government, and especially than under 90’s Russia.
