Yes, I think people are almost never exactly what their political system/government is... I always think these two entities - we as human beings and our government and its system - don’t really reflect one another although one is dependent on the other in so many ways. Soviet times had lots of crazy, bad propaganda, drastic measures towards its own people (I think more people got killed in Stalin times than the official numbers of holocaust), destruction of culture, but there were also good spirits, people getting together to achieve what they believed in, etc. A very long and a very strange period in the history of that region indeed...
