I asked my babushka about her life back in the USSR! (she was born in 1938, the Soviet Union dissolution was in 1991, so most part of her life was in the USSR)

as a wise man once said, The nostalgia of the soviet people of the USSR is not the nostalgia towards the past but towards a future that is lost.

I can totally understand what she is trying to say. The people were united under one banner, achieving unbelievable things and striving to make the Soviet Union a super power. The First man in space was a Russian after all. Nowadays everyone is so greedy, selfish and vain

From this, I understand both sides of the coin. She had everything she wanted. We have everything that advertisements tell us we want. She didn't know any different and now we have so much at our fingertips, we want what we have and what everyone else has too or we feel we cannot be happy. I do miss the simpler times.

My grandparents, parents, and myself were born in the USSR, present day Azerbaijan. My grandparents and parents grew up there; I have no memory of this time cause I was a baby (born in '91, right before it fell), but my grandma speaks very fondly of those times and tells me very similar stories like these about the Soviet Union - unfortunately they'll never teach you this perspective in schools, especially not in the U.S.

Many won't understand what she menas with "we were like people". Today we're not treated like humans beings, we're not treated even as a living thing. Sad that babushka had to die seeing the world the way it is.

Protect this babushka at all cost!! Blessings ❤❤❤
I’m not Russians, but I grew up in San Francisco where many Russians came after the fall of the Soviet Union and I’ve heard many of these stories from the old timers that told me so much God bless their souls .

I grew up to learn Russian and I’ve travelled to Moscow many times. Love u ppl and I love to love I’ve always been given by Russians❤❤

My grandma says the same things, she even says times were better then. My American friends cannot wrap their heads around this mainly because there was a lot of fear of USSR back in that day. I show everyone my grandmas pics from the 40s, 50s, & 60s she traveled, went to the theatre, and was extremely happy in every picture you could tell. Every time people (Americans) see these pictures they are shocked about how life really was in the USSR.
