There's a saying in the ex socialist republics. "Those who don't miss the USSR have no heart, but those who want it back have no brains." Think that about sums it up.
I think you just made that up.
Besides, living standards and life expectancy in the former USSR are just now recovering back to levels they were at when the USSR broke up. It makes complete sense why people would look at the last 30 years and conclude things were better before.
