Under Soviets Eastern Europe people's had jobs future for kids education etc there was no need to think about the future. But there was no freedom.

Now they have freedom but lack everything else

I start to think that socialism has its advantages for lazy southern nations Big Russian brother feeded them and paid them for their junk goods and now there is nobody to help

For us Russians now its better times and we have oil to sell cheap energy to consume and virtually unlimited natural resources to guarantee our future
most important we have got nukes to defend ourselves from the west influence
