Liberals, conservatives, centrists, succdems (especially succdems, their frothing anti-communism know no bounds) and a large portion of socialists in the west: "Well ackshually the collapse of the eastern block was good and brought freedom and stuff to those suffering under the totalitarian boot of communism!"
People who remembers living in AES countries before and after the regression to capitalism: "Life was better back then. Most things suck now."
Yeah, not sure how people think living through post-Soviet society was somehow better. Mobs, social services, quality of life, jobs, income. Everything got worse unless you had capital which was unlikely

Something like 6-8 million extra deaths in the year after the collapse right? A mass casualty event like its own little holocaust.
That’s not a little Holocaust, that’s literally how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust. That’s a whole Holocaust
