Estonian here. Soviet period was very problematic, and if you claim here that criticism of communism is fascism, then you are greatly mistaken. The crimes of communism during the Soviet period are well documented. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimes_against_humanity_under_communist_regimes To point out that many Russians are longing for communism is quite possible, but these are the same Russians who are currently “liberating” Ukraine.
Damn it’s almost like unprecedented economic collapse on a global scale gets people to wear the rose tinted glasses. There’s a million of these surveys done every year and for the past 7-8 it’s always been over 50% positive. This is cherry picking data at its finest.
