russia saw one of the biggest jumps in quality of life for its citizens in recorded history.
Either you are joking or you are very stupid. Or perhaps you are one of Putin’s little puppets, trying to recontextualize the USSR and the various atrocities it committed against its own people.
Regardless, you are very very wrong.
Edit: and now I’m remembering how many tankies reside here on Lemmy.
So, stupid it is. Putin is a USSR glorifier. He continually puts out propaganda about how great Russia was under the banner of the USSR. His whole reasoning in invading Ukraine and Crimea is to re-integrate them as they were before the fall of the Berlin wall.
Look up the meaning of communism and then look up how the “Communist” government of the USSR was run and compare the two. Then maybe you’ll actually have a clue. Oh and, you and your tankie friends can downvote me all you like. It won’t really matter.
When Joseph Stalin killed millions of Russians I don’t think it was a matter of opinion that life in the USSR was objectively terrible. And now with Vladimir Putin trying to put the USSR back together by bathing himself and the entire Eastern Bloc in blood and has literally outlawed not only lgbtq but any differing opinions to his own, I don’t think it’s a matter of opinion that life in Russia really fucking sucks. But hey, you do you.

If you don’t want to listen to tankies, you should just straight up block .ml
Arguing with them adds flavor to my life.
How things Russia did with Communism have to do with Putin dude???

He glorifies it so much that’s he criticize communism a lot.
He just want the land dude, he is a oligarch, a reactionary. The actual government is not communist.
If you think that what the USSR had was communism, then you are as dumb as the other guy.
What you the chosen one who defies the historians calls the USSR government?
If it’s socialism OK, I can give you that.

So ok it’s a matter of opinion and not based on anything concrete, have a nice day.
