EDIT - for formatting

The current Russian regime uses heavy Anti-Soviet messaging

I disagree. May 9th day of USSR victory over Nazi Germany is a very proud event. There are statues of Lenin more than any other figure throughout Russia.

demonizes socialism as much as American conservative politics

I live in Kiev, we have socialized medicine which is nice. College is cheap. Ukraine and Russia are controlled by Oligarchs, but I think there is more socialism here than USA

The USSR wasn’t great for a lot of Russians

In what regard?
