Yes, the majority of the population. Everybody wanted to go to the USSR and the Eastern Bloc in general. That is why they built the Berlin Wall and heavily guarded all the borders with Western Europe. To stop all the migrants ;) (I prefer to trust people living at that time than the nostalgia.)

Oh look more drivel. The reason the immigration was strict wasn't because everyone wanted to flee from USSR as you fascists claim. It was because people who got their free education in USSR could leverage it go and make way more money in the west and live of the capitalist exploitation. The fact that the majority of the population of USSR voted against the dissolution in the referendum clearly shows that you're full of shit.

I agree that it is worse in Russia now than it was in the post-Stalin Soviet era, though.

Meanwhile, where it's actually worse now than during USSR times is in the Baltics where the industry is gone, and everyone who has the means to do so left.

Meanwhile, Russian economy is booming, and the World Bank just reclassified Russia as a high income country https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025

The IMF forecasts that Russian economy is set to grow faster than all the western economies https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/17/russia-forecast-to-grow-faster-than-advanced-economies-in-2024-imf.html

Literally every single thing you stated in this thread is demonstrably wrong. Gotta work on your trolling skills not to make it so obvious.
