They're fucking retarded.

Who cares?
They're Russians, and its their country to do with as they see fit.
Really none of our business what they do as long as it doesn't bother us, wouldn't you agree?

Russians are insects

...

Because you're a Nigger

they had something resembling an empire and respect overseas. There was an ideal to strive for.

same reason why 'majority of canadians dislike trump' or '99/100 americans are going to vote Hillary during the 2016 election'
Whoever is doing the poll is cherry picking the people they're asking, have extremely biased questions, or are only releasing what they believe the poll answer should be because most people will never question their polling method

"""""""Independent researchers""""""""

Also it says that only 26% reacted positively

They don't miss the USSR, they miss Russia being a leader on the world stage and having power and relevancy.

This
Russia after the breakup was a horrible time for everyone and left a bad taste in many peoples mouths. To put it politely

2 words
Retarded Slavs

If they actually wanted it back and weren't just whining they would vote for the communist party. It's just old people bitching as always

fpbp

Russians are well known for having small brains.

100%

Putin wants to restore Russia to USSR power and trump is his ticket

Because people forgets about the past very fast.
Human nature.

this

USSR was relevant and had a forward goal to look toward (International Communism)

Russian Federation is not

This. Also true throughout several of the former SSRs.

No one liked communism, but they were a world power and there was at least a semblance of order. After the collapse, things didn't get much better. The big dictatorship of the USSR broke up into a bunch of smaller dictatorships, often controlled by the same people that ruled in Soviet times.

Civil wars broke out (Georgia, Tajikistan, Chechnya, Armenia-Azerbaijan, etc.) there was political chaos (Black October '93), and economic chaos (the '98 ruble collapse comes to mind). Crime was rampant - many former soldiers and KGB types, suddenly out of a job, joined the Russian Mafia. You'll sometimes hear stories of people finding bodies in the streets and the police being hardly able to do anything.

TL;DR: no one really liked communism, but they miss the "simpler, safer times" when the KGB kept everyone from killing one another and the prestige that came from sitting on top of the world.

I think we'll see something of a return to the USSR, albeit in a sort of EU-like form - nominal independence, etc. Something like the Sovereign Union Gorbachev was trying to reform the USSR into before the coup and collapse.

I don't.

Because they hate themselves

Depending on who you ask, they did vote for the CPRF back into power in 1996. Many Russians believe Yeltsin rigged the '96 elections, but wether that's actually true or not is iffy.

Because this and And also a huge factor is that the responders were old people that have only positive memories about their youth.

umm sweetie, they hacked your election and got drumpf elected, i'd say that's pretty relevant

>the proportion of those who confessed to negative feelings over the collapse of the USSR is currently 56 percent

Mostly older people who were brainwashed by Communism and want to relive their youth.

They want to relive their glory days of the USSR which were heavily circumstantial to WW2 which allowed the them to conquer physically and sexually half of europe.

>slavs are mentally fucked
imagine my shock. dont make hapa kids, kids

Pure coincidence

They hacked the elections with a fake email and a bitly url, lmao

wish the niggers here would forget about slavery

>if the USSR was so awful why do a majority of Russians want it to come back ?
Russia never underwent forced de-Bolshefication under foreign occupation . I suspect if Germany had been allowed the same relatively hands off relationship, you would see similar levels of open support and nostalgia for the old Nazi regime.

or, people do actually regret the collapse.

Because time of their youth associates with USSR, back when grass was greener, dick was functioning and chicks were easy. Also they're dumb as dirt.

Yeah. You don't need money, you just need things that you can exchange for money.

Not just Russians but a lot of former Soviets like Baltics want it back too.

>USSR= Everyone middle class, 1% military, diplomats etc have better stuff
>Post-soviet toxic capitalism =no middle class, inflation, 99% lower class, 1% hyper elite mafia

Tito communism > CIA appointed Jeudo-Masonic capitalist oligarchy

Wrong. That emblem represents a superpower and influence.

They want the USSR brand back but with Russia's current economic system, which might actually happen in our lifetime to be honest.

China had reforms but still kept the current flag.

>if the USSR was so awful
It's only in the West that the USSR is hated, because it was a country that matched and exceeded anything that the Glorious Capitalism could ever offer. USSR was an alternative path forward, the path the capitalists were and still are truly afraid of, hence the immense hate that it gets, even by Sup Forums's faggots.

Whats with that pesky minority that will be enslaved again?

Those that want it back had power and want it back, those that never experienced it and want it back its because they live in hope of glorious future because the present is less than ideal!

What about the Tsar?

This, there's a reason Hitler considered them subhuman.

People crave for order

nice meme

You're a meme.

Do you support genocide?

it apart of our culture

No one who lived through Stalin's purges and the Holodomor was polled

They miss having an Empire, not Communism.

>asking that while supporting communism
100 million should be added to the "do not want ussr return" out of respect.

Russians are suited for commieblocks and central planning, they cant into freedom

lol there is way more freedom in Russia than here the land of security checks everywhere and body scanners. Next they'll start fingering your butthole before you can board a domestic flight.

Russia has freedom (besides muh gun rights, can still get a gun though, just harder) but America has better justice.

> Baltics

Lord no, the Baltics are among the former SSRs where the Soviet Union was least popular, largely thanks to their being unwillingly annexed in the 1930s.

The Central Asian nations, Belarus, and eastern Ukraine did vote to stay with the USSR back in 1990 but the coup ruined that. Many of them still feel a deal of Soviet nostalgia.

Also
> Tito Communism works great guize! Capitalism is toxic and sux!
> Requires intelligent, ruthless dictator to keep itself running
> makes most of it's money by working as part of a global capitalist economy (selling cheap cars to the US, for example)
> collapses into ruin and civil war shortly after Tito's death

Really makes me go hmmm

USSR collapsed 30 years ago man. Most people here don't know what the fuck it was except some coolstories from gramps how everyone was happy and free gibs everywhere and shit.
That's about it.
Our modern commies look the same as yours SJW leftists.

*26 years ago.

Also I don't think you intended it but that chick looks way better than most so called SJW leftists here.

>if the USSR was so awful why do a majority of Russians want it to come back ?

Because they're either too young to remember what life was like or they're simply nostalgic for the days when they were a global superpower and don't realize that the reality of returning to socialism would most likely result in them going the way of Venezuela.

How many of those are kids who are fed propaganda and think they'd be better off than the (slightly less) shithole they are now?
Apparently communism was so great that the Russians flocked to capitalist establishments like McDonalds the moment they were opened.

/thread

Vodka

the levada center is run by communist wannabes and (((sociologists)))

Deep state propaganda. +++

I was going to bitch about your correction for years, but...

You make an incredibly valid point about that girl: she is above average American looks, and for SJWs, it's top 5%.

Dumb subhumans lusting for their former glory

This. They have since been a "lost" people, they already had one order overturned with the
revolution and now that new order was overturned again. It's easy to see someone longing back.

Likes Swedes and the old empire. Even the gayest swedes here still has some sort of respect for it.

this

2 Russian flags and 51 unique posters. Shocker.

Well. most of them they don't fall into feminism/lgbt and some other related western leftie crap. But besides that there is no big difference. They wear fancy clothes with commie prints and posting selfies on instagram from their iphones.

because the USSR had more power than modern day Russia, they want the "glory days" of being the 2nd strongest world power. Now they are just shitty ass Russia, with little power and shitty economy.

whole east eu is in nato and back of ussr would mean that they want it back

Well be fair - only they will remember the USSR times in the first place.

We on Sup Forums quote old South African blacks positively for saying that RSA was better in the days of apartheid. Now, I'm sure that's more likely to be true, but, they should both be taken seriously.

Maybe there was more comradeship in the old days - the Russians were probably more self-sufficient and (genuinely) communal back then, both things worth having.

/not a commie I swear

>Kill all non-commies
>All thats left is commies

Really made me think

Yet somehow the Soviet Union transformed a bunch of illiterate peasants into a nuclear superpower in just a few generations. All they had to do was slaughter a few million lazy assholes and crazies. More like:
>The value we place on a good appears to be subjective, based on how many Jew media marketing hours are pumped into our soft skulls, shaping our 'tastes and preferences' to corporate standards; independent from the actual quality and scarcity of the particular good.
You dumbasses actually pay thousands of dollars on digital loot boxes that you don't even have real ownership over, just a digital license to, and the game developer can delete or modify the items you win at their whim.
Corporations pay some tv show to have some celebrity eat a shit burger, and now you'll pay twice the price to eat it yourself, especially if it is "for a limited time special".
Independent of the brainwashing, propaganda, and ideology, yes the real value of a thing is based on the labor value. Even in your capitalist ideal of valuation, you pay for a good AT LEAST what it costs to produce, market, and distribute (i.e. labor) that thing, for if the company sells less than cost, it soon goes out of business. Hence, the fundamental basis of price is the cost of labor, and class struggle means the class that owns the means of production always tries to pay workers less and charge buyers more to increase their own profits. Over the long term, this is UNSUSTAINABLE, and leads to increasingly catastrophic boom/bust cycles and depressions, wherein productive forces and capacity go unutilized simply because consumers do not have sufficient wealth to buy goods from the owners of the means of production at the prices they demand. As such, the owners of the means of production go bankrupt as a result of their own greed, except they are bailed out by the governments they own and control; thus are profits privatized and losses socialized.

I laughed harder at this than I should have.

They miss the idea of Russia being swagger like this.

What's your point

>why do a majority of Russians want it to come back ?
[citation needed]

Probably something commie

That's that nazbol shit right there. They wanna unite with the Asian countries and create some Eurasian USSR, but without the communism. It's fucking stupid as hell.

>We on Sup Forums quote old South African blacks positively for saying that RSA was better in the days of apartheid.

That's because you're idiots who cherry-pick the 1/1000 blacks who believe that, or who are mad as fuck at the ANC.

The overwhelming vast majority of black South Africans of any age are rabidly opposed to Apartheid and would violently oppose its return.

Imagine if I quoted some older American Beatnik who wished that the Soviets would have nuked us and suggested that some substantial portion of Americans believe that. That's how you guys sound.

stupidity isn't new to humanity

it isn't new to OP

kinda sad that there's this huge part of history russians can't be 100% proud of because its so tainted

Retarded (((leaf))), why dont you go read tne trilogy of "western technology, soviet development". Its 1,500 pages explaining how the only reason the URSS didnt ended in 5 days, its because americam enterprises moved their plants there.
