First link are interviews done by an American Socialist. Second one is some random YouTube channel. Last one is a dude interviewing his Kazakh grandfather who was a professor in the Soviet Union.
There's also Bald & Bankrupt who is a lot more fly-on-the-wall, and basically does travel vlogs around places like the former USSR. Pretty much everywhere he goes he hones in on the first 40+ person he can find and asks them if they prefer the USSR, and they always say yes.
There's a great bit in the video about Chelyabinsk (~12:30) where he's being guided by a younger Russian who says that he thinks older people liking the Soviet Union is just nostalgia, and that it's crazy people would have to go on a waiting list for a car or a TV - to which Bald says "I suppose nowadays they wouldn't be able to afford one at all"
The Russian guy goes :surprised-pika:
Yes sorry. I was being lazy.
