Okay /pol/ question for the people of mother Russia

Okay people of Russia, I have a question for you all, how do you feel about communism? And for the older generation that might see this, do you miss communism? Do you feel it was better then than right now? For the younger generation, how do you feel about your history as a nation mostly being under communism, of course Russia wasn't always communist, but as far as the younger generation thats pretty much all you know because the policy stretchs as far back as your great grandparents, maybe even great great grandparents. Just curious wanting to interact with Russian folk, want this to be a comfy thread.

>>137054476
>Okay people of Russia, I have a question for you all, how do you feel about communism?
I like communism, or perhaps more accurately socialism since communism is but a utopian end goal, but in practice it is very easy for it to go wrong, CPSU for example was doomed the moment brezhnev took power, Khrushev was just a symptom of a system in decay.

>Do you feel it was better then than right now?
I asked that question quite a few times, with different results, the best answer I've ever got was "There had been more order then, but now there are more opportunities"

>For the younger generation, how do you feel about your history as a nation mostly being under communism
I feel that some people should stop trusting Holywood and MSM as their source for information about modern Russia. The only things that are truly important to most people as far as communism goes is Army and Space/Science, there is also the Education and Medecine fields but those are rarely associated with communism despite being inherited from it. In most other aspects Russia is more of a continuation of the Imperial project after Imperator was deposed, but before civil war happened and communists took power.
>>
>>137056517
Nice it only took a half hour to get someone to respond kek
>>
>>137056650
Well I'm here for now if you are curious about any other aspects of modern Russia, I find such cultural exchanges, however small and insignificant, pleasant.
>>
>>137056517
Yeah I've seen documentaries about how under Khrushev there was stagnation, then under the final soviet primer he wanted to implement capitalist reforms but it was already too late. Why did the USSR fall, I get a bunch of answer each very understandable and intertwined, but I can't by the fact that we simply made Russia over spend.

Also hear from Putin that back in the day, people where chosen to go to college which is a completely foreign idea to anybody in the states, but untie less sounds like a good one, is that true. Also I don't talk. to Putin kek, I just saw it on a documentary.

I've seen RT and Russian Insider which are propaganda but un-theless news and they say a lot of people regret or miss Soviet Russia.
>>
>>137056921
Yeah I remember growing up while the History Channel still talked about history, and wasn't all about pawn shops and trash savaging. I don't know if you have the History Channel in Russia though. but before it changed its programming it would show nothing but World War 2 mini series documentaries focusing on Hitler and Russia. Real gems of knowledge if you ask me. And the USSR always caught my eye as being something of a anomaly in the world. Coming to /pol/ its hard to discuss though seeing how many people are Nazis or just blatantly hate communism.
>>
>>137056921
Also how does your grandparents feel or felt about USSR? I know differences between the generation tend to expand greater now in the modern era.
>>
>>137057041
>under Khrushev there was stagnation
Stagnation started with brezhnev and never really ended, it just got worse and worse and then the system collapsed.

>implement capitalist reforms but it was already too late
Au contraire his fault wasn't attempt to implement "capitalist" reforms, but rather an attempt to implement "democracy" overnight in a country that was in a middle of a major economic crisis, it spectacularly backfired with every SSR, including Russia mind you, pulling in their own direction resulting in well known events, his pussyfooting and refusal to use army to quash rebellion was the final nail in the USSR coffin, by the time GKCHP tried to undo damage he caused it was too late.

In short economic stagnation, questionable spending practices, lack of a reasonable intensive structure for the population and Ideocracy signed USSR death warrant before Khruschev ever took power. He could have saved it if he clamped down on unrest ordered KGB to deal with the rabble-rousers like Yeltsin and focused on liberalising economy following Chinese model, but he was not the man needed to do it and there wasn't one available at the time. Especially because populations bought the "liberal democracy will solve all your problems" meme. Well 90s was a "wonderful" penance for that stupidity.

>Also hear from Putin that back in the day, people where chosen to go to college
I don't understand what you mean.

>a lot of people regret or miss Soviet Russia
Miss and regret yes, nostalgia is like that, wanting it back as it was, not so much.
>>137057494
>Also how does your grandparents feel or felt about USSR?
They like it AFAIK, never got into deep politics discussions with them.
>>
>>137057309
>Coming to /pol/ its hard to discuss though seeing how many people are Nazis or just blatantly hate communism.
/pol/ hates everything about equally to be honest. For every "white race" post there is a "look at those fat retards larping as nazies" one.

It's very similar to nostalgia in US in my opinion, "Make America Great Again" and all that. USSR had superb social security policies and things like that. Basically you go to university for free, you get guaranteed employment, free housing and healthcare. This doesn't come without drawbacks, and eventually stale bureaucracy just collapsed under its own weight. Modern rampant capitalism, huge inequality and so on isn't for everyone. Nowadays its homo homini lupus est. People miss simpler times, even though now they probably have more opportunities, like fpbp said.
>>
>>137057812
>I don't understand what you mean.
Well I saw a documentary about Putin talking about his KGB days, well before he was in the KGB and he said that people where given jobs and told where to work. I got it mixed up with education.
>>
>>137057902
Yeah honestly its much harder in America if you don't already come from wealth, and I cherish the idea of talking care of your people, but communism just doesn't seem to work unfortunately.
>>
i dont like communism and while many of olders are nostalgic about that in fact communism was shitty and dealt a lot of damage to my country
>>
>>137058287
its not unfortunately, it is in the nature of communism to dont work at all. Do you think you could create country which encourages workers to work less to earn more? thatt
>>
USSR had it's share of problems but from what my grandparents and parents told me and from what I've read I think Russia would have been better off if USSR didn't dissolve. Too much corruption and too many things that are done for money now that would be unheard of in the past. For instance now you can literally bribe your way out of anything with any government agency.
>>
>>137058434
Russia would be better if USSR didnt existed and corruption was already there in USSR. Fall of USSR just made things work with money instead of "services for a good boys"
>>
>>137058114
It wasn't exactly like that, it's more like you HAD to work and if you didn't apply yourself or simply couldn't get a job you wanted, state would just assign you A job so that you'd have something to do, a system which while providing everyone with employment failed to reward pursuits outside of those mandated by the government.

>>137058287
>but communism just doesn't seem to work unfortunately
It depends on what you mean by communism, as I said, in reality it's just an end goal of "classless society" china has a pretty good model of socialist government if you want to look at a working system. Or you could go to nordic democratic socialism for tips, tho I don't think it would work for a big nation.

>>137058585
When are you taking down lukashenko?
>>
Russians, what would you say to an American that is considering moving to Russia? Generally speaking.
>>
>>137058434
Yeah I recently got through watching the Putin Interviews with Oliver Stone, and honestly Russia fascinates me. Because you guys allow Putin to hold office for so long, but who am I to honestly judge, I'm American first and foremost and truly believe in liberty, so what it seems to me is that Putin is who the people of Russia have chosen and if there happy with that I don't care. But Putin from what little I know because obviously I'm not in Russia seeing him all the time like Americans see Trump, he seems to me like a man who is truly trying to do right by his people, coming into power so early after the collapse and just overhauling everything, but of course he is tainted by wealth and power. Maybe that blinds his view, all I see or the projection that I got from the interviews is that he's a statesman and a true son of Russia who is combating, being powerful and trying to use that power.
>>
>>137058708
while Lukashenko isnt great, for me its clear that overthrowing him would cause more bad than good. Besides we cant throw him out even if we wanted to.

Communism is distant goal in far future. It needs AI, solid infrastructure, automatation and other shit like this. USSR was so fucking close to it by inventing pic related, but bureaucracy and stupidity ruined that all.

Make sure you visit first. Also ensure that you have income prior to the move, stick to St-Petersburg or if you are particularly rich/greedy Moscow, other places would just be too much of a cultural shock imo. Oh and make sure you learn russian, at least enough for casual conversation.

>>137058841
Putin is far too complicated a subject to explain quickly. In short there are only two ways to deal with the level of corruption perestroika and 90s brought to russia, a civil war and taking charge of it. Putin chose the second, I think it is by far better choice, but not one without a price.
>>
>>137058677
I see, well if America promised me a job straight out of college I would be one happy camper kek

Yeah Sanders tried to explain that to the public, but of course he was hit with the "we are not Denmark, we have more then 5 million people here" which I honestly agree with, Chinas mixed model does seem somewhat stable, I have to look more into though
>>
>>137058863
I'm 1/4th Russian and I can speak a little Russian. I'm very American though, born and raised here. I'm thinking about moving to Russia because the nigger problem is getting a little too much in America. You cannot raise kids here. If I had kids, I wouldn't want to send them to schools with black people and Mexicans, and that's about guaranteed here in the states. Wondering what Russians would have to say about this.
>>
>>137059081
i would suggest you to civil war with hanging all non-russian elites while building nationalistic state with respect toward capitalism and some effective ruling institues

>>137059142
we would say "this guy just got out of fire into inferno"
>>
>>137059081
Yeah he does seem like a very complicated man, many right wing Americans have much respect for him. And from the picture thats been represented to me I can't help but so I do as well. Rumor has it that he's the wealthiest person in the world too kek. Russia with Putin at the helm seems like a nation trying to be prosperous for the betterment of all Russians, but unfortunately in the globalist world we live in won't have it. I feel like Putin is boxed in, outside is a world that fears him in Europe, and inside one wrong move could start a revolution, and dismantle everything he's worked to achieve, corrupted or not.
>>
>>137059142
Well if you are being serious rather than memeing than, SPb would be a decent choice, since unlike moskow it's migrant population is rather small. Of course if you can tolerate cultural shock you can just move to one of the golden ring cities that are pretty much White Russian Monoculture affairs.


>>137059247
And I'd suggest you to kys. Because that's what you are asking of a whole lot of young kids when you advocate civil war.

Yes and I'm sure whoever replaces Putin will be a squeaky clean politician with no hint of corruption. Pro-tip: Revolution over petty manageable forms of corruption is a waste of time, results in a huge bloodbath, and doesn't guarantee a better government in the end.

Well, living in big cities is pretty ok if you ask me. Saint Petersburg and Moscow are even better than most EU capital cities. Kazan is glorious too. You may want just look for cities with >1M population.
Stay away from north - theres nothing but total depression, endless snow storms, auroras and 2-3 month without sun. On the south theres steppes and deserts and in summer it's like mini-Australia. Far East is rough too - ocean storms and numerous local chink nations like buryats and tuvins.
Old small cities in Siberia is like playing STALKER IRL - most of them are abandoned. But I like it tbqh, there's a lot of abandoned shit after USSR like nuclear bunkers, tanks, underground cities and other shit.

Let me tell you about communism, my little burger friend:

-you cant work by yourself or be selfemployeed, you cant do your own business - if you do it - 10 years in prison
-you cant buy a appartment or flat more than 33 square meters at 1 person, you only can have flat of 44 square meters if you have a wife with one child, and 56 square meters flat if you have 2 child. If you are single you live in 20-27 square meter flat.
-you cant decide where to live or work. After graduation government will send you where them want: ukrainian removed to uzbekistan, estonian removed to Siberia, Belorussian remove to Turkmenistan, russian moved to top level land: Crimea, other Ukraine, Tallian, Riga etc
- in 1982-86 you cant be in street at day time - if you are police will arrest you. Guess why?

After a certain point Money=Power, and he seems intent on using that power in the interests of russian state, sure some gets lost as a reward for loyalty, but I'm not seeing a better system in the current political climate in Russia.
>outside is a world that fears him in Europe
Europe is hella rich and important but it is not end all be all of the world, I for one hope we can get India and china to stop bickering and think that that's more important than anythning that has to do with US and EU si,ply because it is clear that both of those chose to be our enemies.

Before 2014 - maybe - after Ukrainians convinced Russia at large that a revolution is a terrible Idea his rule is pretty secure until he dies or resigns.

If you mean OGAS - it was essentially an attempt to establish an AI led technocratic economy. It never got done because USSR collapsed before there was tech around to even attempt it.

Yeah kek I saw a video recently on Russian Insider with him hinting at running again or I think it was him saying he wouldn't change the constitution so he could run again not sure. But like I said if that is what the Russian people want I see no problem really. Plus Putin is funny as fuck the way he handled the hacking allegations with Megan Kelly, he said "gee you people must have a lot of time on your hands over there because this is just crazy" haha it would be funny to hear stuff like that for the next 20 years.

That's partially due to soviet work ethics. Whats the point in working hard if the only bonus you'll get is probably additional 10-20 rubles which are useless anyway cause you can't buy shit.

The only people who were working hard were scientist and other people who were passionate about their jobs.

Frankly - people don't care all that much, oh they grumble and some get upset over it, but ultimately - what are you gonna do about it? So most just ignore it. Tho some entrepreneurial fellows try to subvert both sanctions and counter sanctions via smuggling as the recent cheese story shows.

It's a bit more complicated than that, there was a period when government neglected yonger generation and it led to folks like Navalny gaining popularity but thankfully they seem to have realised their mistake and are working to overcome it by doing more popular diplomacy with the kids.

Eh this guy is just trolling at this point. Tho generally asking soilders as a way to gauge popular opinion is not the best plan since they tend to be more patriotic than most. That being said russian military and intel guys live a good life nowdays since the government might call upon them for some creative editing of european borders they tend to keep them happy, well fed, trained and loyal.

Even the social stigma against the army that was around after the 90s is slowly being eroded and replaced with respect again.

The u.s. is one of like 4 or 5 countries where one can build his own opportunity. There are plenty of markets where a determined individual can enter and undercut the competition. In most countries you'd be regulated out of existence or wouldn't be able to afford the necessary bribes to get started. You guys have tons of opportunity, but like women, you'd rather give up climbing the mountain and declare base camp tour actual goal. Naive!

There are loads of people who own their own businesses in Appalacia. I know a guy who had about 3 yrs of coding experience near the nc/Tenn line.

Other than above mentioned liberasts.

>>137063556
No one gives a fuck about your opinions overmuch, the if you start spouting things like that in a non political conversation people will think you are an obsessed weirdo, that being said the worst that you could expect in return is to get told to fuck off. On the other hand don't insult people on too personal a level, that might end in violence if you go too far. But generally no, we are quite conservative nation all things told.

So there is a reason why Crimea was this huge issue. There was a lot of Russians who got moved there by the government, and not just Crimea to almost all of the post USSR.

Of course not. It's more about money and your representation in society. If you're rich shitskin in Russia, you're higher in society that regular Ivan.

Living in America makes you believe that way.
I was employed at a place pretty swimmingly for 3-ish months. Only problem was some racist co-workers. At some point, it gets too much, and you start throwing some punches back, and that's it, you're a fucking Nazi racist. Literally had people came up to me and say, "Hey, I heard some pretty disturbing things about you..." and it doesn't matter. You can't explain anything to them, because racism toward you, a white male, doesn't exist in the minds of people in America.

AND KEEP IT MIND, the shit I said was jokingly and sarcastically jabbing back. Meant to be a joke, to even the playing field a little nit. NOPE.EXE. "FUCKING RACIST WHITE SUPREMACIST."

This country is fucking shit. You're either eternally cucked or... that's it. That's you're only option. Either that or move to a thoroughly red-state, but idk. I have some family in Russia, and I'm thinking about moving there if you can live a reasonable life there and not be live a perma-cucked existence.

I do to, especially the orphans. Im not saying I want them to be heavy handed and get into everyones life but I think if someone wanted they should be able to give themselves over to the state and receive guidance. right now there is not even an employment office where I could leave my documents and have someone get back to me about a job. basally I think gov should be able to do "totalitarian" things as long as they have the consent of people involved. There are a lot of small villages that could have easily be recognized into 1 functional place instead of having 9 kid schools and miles of walking but such things are seen as too invasive. personally I feel like government is using claims of liberalism to avoid responsibility, you get some bullshit options and then you are to blame if it did not work, not the gov.

depending on where you are "socially" racism does not exist towards anyone. you would have to be really hateful for anyone to notice or you would have to commit a race based crime. racism is alive and well in humor and sometime daily conversations but people usually have something to fire back with, its not like us where the worst thing about white people they came up with was "they can't dance and are boring" which changed to "white people are crazy and always shoot up schools"

They are solving problems from the most prosperous regions to least, not the most humanitarian approach but at least it avoids soviet era stagnation. They, putin and co, started with SPb and MSK, got them into livable condition, than moved onto 1mil+ cities, repairing an entire nation after the collapse aint a quick job and the corruption aren't helping any, they are doing it that way because if big cities are working economy has a chance to grow, this makes living in villages suck, but the alternative is another permanent stagnation or a civil war to remove corruption, which has no guarantee of producing a better gov than the current one.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but it just hasn't been my experience, I'm pretty openly atheist, and while I'm annoyed by the lack of political representation, KPRF is not really cutting it, I haven't had it negatively affect me in any serious way. Sure some religious folk find my lack of faith disturbing, but I don't remember having anything nasty happening because of it and the Church doesn't seem particularly interested in denying scientific facts or oppressing atheists so I don't mind the current state of affairs too too much.

The "free universities" is a meme. The admission was corrupt as fuck, children of government officials and academics were given free entrance, others had to either be outstanding students or bribe the dean. One positive factor from this was that it was really hard for (((them))) to get admitted lol.
In modern Russia, the universities admit a limited amount of students for free (government subsidized), that is a few dozens of people every year per major (overall hundreds of people every year get free admission). The rest of the students can get admitted if they agree to pay tuition. Amazing thing is, you don't have to have a good GPA or exam results to get admitted if you're willing to pay. Even the most prestigious universities will admit a literal retard with lowest exam scores if he agrees to pay tuition. That's pretty nice for those who didn't pass the exams well enough compared to others, but still wants to study. Are there other countries where it works like that, by the way? As far as I know, you can't pull that shit in the US.

U wot m8, the point I made was that it worked like this:
A university announces that it will admit 30 students this year for Physics major. Out of the 30 seats:
>5 goes to children of government officials
>5 goes to children of academics and their friends/relatives
>5 goes to those who bribed the dean
>15 goes to actual hard working students
So 15 others who actually had the capacity to pass and study are left out. At least today they can pay tuition and get admitted, back in the day they had to choose another (a shittier) uni or forget about higher-ed.

unfortunately uncommon. The streets look mostly the same as in any other country, even the satellite states have lots of imported cars (as you may have seen from dash cam vids)

Rare in Moscow nowadays. I just returned from Armenia though, and they fucking love Niva, I saw so many of it. As I was explained to, they love Mercedes G-Klasse, but those who can't afford it settle for a Niva as an alternative lol.

What does the chart even mean? its high in the 90s but do you not know anything about the Russian 90s?
>Do you think that trend will last?

Patriotism is a good thing, so long it doesn't shift into nazism or blind stupidity.

Grigori Rasputin had more sense than him in all matters of state. Crazy illiterate monk that spend his days drinking and fucking.
>who would they put on the throne
The same thing slavs did for centuries. Open a free-for-all for varyags and put the one surviving on the throne.
>>137068610
That's what happens now. Cept those fifteen places go to are occupied by rich chechen and official's relatives that still struggle with multiplication table.
Back then it was more like two of the first, six of the second and none of the third. Keep in mind that back then those children of academics knew their stuff much better than ordinary students and a solid chunk of professors simply wasn't bribe-able. You could put a gun to his head, and with his final lurch he'd still fail you.

People like Soviet Union not because communism as an ideology but because we were stronk and in general life was simpler, safer and more stable back then.

Australian here,: travelled to Russia a couple of times, had a Russian exchange student:

What I can surmise (based upon who i've talked to and data):

People of all ages are nostalgic of the Soviet Period, but only the older people who had actual memories of the 1970's are actually nostalgic of Communism. The core voter base of the CPRF are pensioners and the old: people who actually lived through the good years of Soviet control, while the younger generations shun bolshevism because they never lived during the good years.

As a basic rule: people yearn towards greatness. the Soviet Union with all it's flaws was great, an economic, scientific and military super power with only one rival. The high levels of prosperity for your average working man was greater than that of the west until the economic decay and stagnation set it. People always had a job, people always had access to good quality free education and healthcare, crime was largely non-existent, people felt safe, people felt they were truly apart of something. Then of course Brezhnev and his supporters failed to modernize, inefficiencies with an old system broke it's back and the rest is history.

All this could be wrong, but this is the general idea I got from talking to people.

from war to books
from grief to happiness.

Oh yeah, humanities and economy are occupied by worst types of churka

>>137070103
This is a different view point from the rest, interesting is that your personal belief or what you know from fellow countrymen?
>>137070008
Yeah I've noticed Russia is anti Nazi for the most part, that whole kill all slavs and take there land think wasn't a good idea. My personal ideology though is do onto others as you would like done onto you.

>hat's what happens now. Cept those fifteen places go to are occupied by rich chechen and official's relatives that still struggle with multiplication table.
Man it's a fucking meme. I look at the admission charts from time to time, and Muslim-sounding names are rare among those who are given free admission. Then again, I can only speak about prestigious unis in Moscow (MSU, HSE, Plekhanov, MФTИ, etc.), so maybe it is like you're saying in shittier ones. When I got admitted to the uni in 2010 (one of the top unis in Moscow), the only guy who got in unfairly, among the 25 people given free admission, was the son of a dean of another faculty at that uni. They made him fake papers that he's disabled. The guy later won the tennis championship in the uni lol.

Nah, their surnames aren't that Muslim, and they drop off pretty fast from proper institutions. Or finally figure it's simpler to buy a diploma than actually attend. In grand scale of thing official's relatives are much worse problem.

Communism is shit. There is no freedom, no opportunities, not even food and toilet paper. You could earn a lot of money in the USSR, but there's nothing to buy for them. Stay 3 hours in line for meat.
