I'd take this result with a grain of salt, just like you would a survey asking Americans what they think of politics and economics. IIRC a lot of affection for the Soviet years in modern Russia isn't due to the government or its policies but a more vague cultural attachment to the sense of cultural/national strength, and the old fashioned cultural norms.

I mean, they might. Tucker's been feeding the American Strasserites after midnight and they've been multiplying. Very possible that they really do yearn for the Jim Crow Era, both because of the social conservatism AND the economic liberalism.
It's also very possible that they are nostalgic for a time when America was the country that Won The Big World War rather than for losing a bunch of little ones.
well the continuous improvement in the approval for state planning is an indication that they mean it, it's not just cultural nostalgia but disillusionment with crapitalism
