Revision as of 23:40, 24 September 2022
Communist nostalgia, also known as socialist nostalgia, is a political and cultural phenomenon in former socialist states where large portions of the population long for a return to socialism as they become disillusioned with the new capitalist system that replaced it.

There were some problems, but life was good there."[1]
