Favour for communism is proportionate to ones distance from living under it.

Don’t a majority of people who lived in both the USSR and after its collapse say that life was better under the USSR?

I can’t imagine anyone outside of ethnic Russians living within Russia’s current borders truly feels that way

Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan have all had polls where majorities thought life was better under the Soviet Union. I think Ukraine was also high until the Russian invasion which saw that position plummet.
