How popular is communism, Marxism or socialism in Russia today? What percentage of the Russian population have sympathies for the old system?

I ask partly because socialism or even neo-Marxism seems to be gaining traction in the United States at the same time this country is getting more racially diverse.

I don't see anyone in Russia referring to "communism" or "Marxism" - people are talking about the Soviet times, and the older generation in particular is longing for those days for a number of reasons.
The younger people that never experienced it are sometimes influenced by their parents' opinions.

But judging by the polls, from 40 to 60% of Russians think positively of the Soviet system.

Putin and Co are VERY alarmed by this approval, and they jump over their heads lately, trying to convince the population that "Russia is a socially-oriented state," that doesn't have oligarchy any longer. Just *business people.*

I ask partly because socialism or even neo-Marxism seems to be gaining traction in the United States at the same time this country is getting more racially diverse.

America ( as a state) benefited much, much more from capitalism than Russia ever did, ( no comparison actually.)



So this attempt to push Russia to the "right wing" path ( so that it would run down the hill and crush with it,) while America would acquire the "left ideas" developed in the Soviet Union and thrive as a "socialist state" is not going to fly. No way, no how, no matter how many "racially diverse population" with its "collective" mentality someone is trying to bring in the country.


( But I guess now it becomes more clear in empirical sort of way, why American "left" hates Russia and targets it as a "source of all world's problems.")
Whereas the American "right" is watching the Middle East more closely ( with focus on Israel) for THEIR clues.

Looking at the conditions Russian drivers are working in, I wonder why they didn't take ALL prizes in this particular class already long time ago.

P.S. The next time the LGBTE community will start arguing that "there is no difference between men and women," I want them all to be send somewhere in that direction.

P.S. P.S. There was a referral in another thread to the "East Europeans" as to the "brick layers and hookers" or something like that, but at the end they are the ones that will save the West from its downfall and "gender confusion")))

All this woke stuff is not coming exclusively from the US - there are *close partners* out there, in Northern Europe.
The tandem, he-he.

It is time for the official countdown according to Gavrilov.

Sukhoi is going to start rolling out a lot of the Superjets. This is going to ease the situation in Russias far east drastically when it comes to travel between cities.

It seems the US is simply going to dismiss most of Russias proposals. We already knew this. Something else will have to change. Like Europeans standing up for themselves against the US/NATO block. Not likely.
