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/Soviet_war_crimes To point out that many Russians are longing for communism is quite possible, but these are the same Russians who are currently "liberating" Ukraine.

The crimes of the Soviet Union while claiming to be communist are well documented.

Yeah, not just Russians. Here's a bar graph since reading is a challenge for some people.

No sane people would agree. You should talk to actual people from east Europe and not look at these stupid articles, everybody around me hate soviet union
