I have a whole fucking family, who lived through the USSR. Not a single one of them misses it. Being spied on every step you take, my grandma has the "you never know who's watching" mentality to this day.

That's not to say they don't hate the current regime, but it's nothing compared to the absolute atrocities of the USSR's secret police.
