I described it as “crushing totalitarianism” in comment #3, so I don’t understand the point you’re making.

OK so If you understand what it was then what's the whole story with constant bringing up 13% tax/they don't like homo over there etc. to somehow “prove” that Putin's Russia has nothing to do with Sovietism ?

Soviet Union was nothing like Scandinavian style socialism with welfare, homo/tree hugging/CO2 nonsense. It was actually something totally different, an aggressive, militaristic, totalitarian regime and now Russians are going back to just a slightly softer version of that garbage with militarism, state controlled media/economy, no opposition and one guy, who has been in charge since 15 years (and will likely stay for at least 15 more) and whom majority of them literally worship for... “bringing back the old glory”. They tried freedom, had no clue what to do with it and gave it up voluntarily.

Again someone forced them to do that ? NWO ? Monsanto Nazis ? Sodomite EU ? McCain ?
