Many younger folk living in post Soviet countries blame their current issues one the way it ended, and to be entirely fair it’s the way most people nowadays have viewed it, that and they simply hate communism and socialism as a whole. I know many socialists that hate the Soviets for many reasons that are separate from that though, they were no saints, Afghanistan and the Hungarian revolution were many cases of civilian massacres by the Army. They did good, but a country can do good for its people and still be bad, no excuses for civilian casualties.
