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.

By country

Germany

In the Federal Republic of Germany, 57% people living in the territory that was once controlled by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) believe that life was better under socialist rule. 49% of former GDR residents believe that "The GDR had more good sides than bad sides. There were some problems, but life was good there."[1]

Hungary

In Hungary, an outstanding majority of people numbering at 72% believe that life was better under the Hungarian People's Republic.[2]

Kazakhstan

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, it has been reported that a large number of people are nostalgic for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), however a lack of polling has made it impossible to come up with an exact number.[3]

Russia

In the Russian Federation, 75% of people believe that the USSR was the best time period in Russian history.[4] 64% of Russians believe that life was actually better under the USSR.[5] 55% of Russians believe that the overthrow of the Soviet Union caused more harm than good compared to 19% who support the change to capitalism.[6]
