Otherwise I think the vast majority of people don't really miss communism much. Just stability, knowing that you'll have a job and food on the table tomorrow. Simple as that. The Soviet government between the 60s and early 80s, for all its faults, managed to provide a fairly acceptable deal for the vast majority in that regard.

Right. The same as in some other Eastern European countries. Others have adapted better.

Jimbuna you naughty boy. :p
