Why is it that people living in former Soviet states overwhelmingly wish that the USSR was still around?

I live in former ussr state, 90% of those people are very old, and as to why ? Nostalgia. They always overlook the bad and only bring up the good.

Have you considered there are other reasons besides nostalgia? Like the massive life expectancy and qol collapse under capitalism?
