Let us not forget what a workers paradise the USSR was..
A place were everyone was equal, but some where more equal than others.

The only decent export they ever had was Vodka. Heck even today that's all there is.
One of the advantages of my job is the fact it allows me to visit places off the tourist route, Kazakstan, interesting parts of Ukraine and places Far East of Moscow.
It may be over 20 years since the wall came down, but hese people still live in communist built housing, drive communist built cars on roads built by the communists. Things we take for granted like central heating, these tower blocks have central heating plumbed in from one plant in the centre of town, so everyone is either hot or if it is broken, more often than not, they are cold.
Seeing how poor te communist system was makes me glad I am a capitalist and I live in the UK.
