I come from Slovakia and I have to disagree with your view that the USSR is awesome and hasn’t done almost nothing bad. After the war USSR in Czechoslovakia performed similarly imperialist things as USA did during it’s history. This includes falsifying election results, banning every party except the communist. It essentially took a before free country as it’s satellite. Source

Also in 1968 In CSK began an era of liberalization, that is lifting on travel ban, enabling free speech,… The USSR saw this as us distancing from them and invaded us with army. After this they changed our government and begun the strictest era of the regime. For example: You couldn’t consume ANY western culture, religion was banned. I have a friend, who illegally imported CS Lewis books, and spent time in prison for that. Source There’s an excellent movie on this called Waves (2024). I highly recommend it, cause it showcases more views on the invasion, like the soldiers, who thought that here was a fascist dictatorship.

There’s many details I haven’t mentioned but if you disagree I hope for meaningful conversation.

For the record, I am very much on the left and I think that both socialism and communism can work in the real world, but not like the USSR
