Actually, no. The Soviets were "based" on social issues and people who lived under "brutal communist oppression" want that back.
The Brezhnev era produced the soyest libs, like
Masha Gessen. The magazine Ogonyok was the 80s' twitter.
You also have to distinguish between "want the Soviet Union
magically back" and pretending to want or be trying to actually do it. The former group comprises every normie who cares about politics at all and is too poor to travel abroad or consider emigration. The latter group is 1) extremely tiny and 2) all grifters preying on the former.
Pussy Riot aren't commies, they're degenerates. Degenerates assume the trappings of the enemies of the country they're in. Your degenerates call themselves commies. Ours were palling around with tsarist faggots. The self-identified commie degenerates we do have are US-influenced wokes trying to keep up with the latest trends, and they're extremely rare even among the wokes; most of them want to see Big Chungus fuck a tachyon or something.
Eastern Europe is "based" because it's been under Communism, which preserved it from degeneracy, and then got Western funding to break away from the Ruskies; so they're both have the potential to be sane on social issues and relatively prosperous to not devolve into street-shitting like Russia is doing, with the Woke West trying to bribe them away from Russia and them having a handy rebuttal to "imperialist" wokenization. Unfortunately, not all of them sustain that potential; Serbia has
reappointed an AGP troon ("first female, first openly gay") as PM and plans to create a Ministry of the Woke.
Russia is of course the target of the West-initiated looting campaign (long since joined by China and the Middle East). Most people claim to espouse based values but are too poor to follow through: you can't run an independent "based" business (industry, agriculture) and prosper. (Anyone who's not tied to the land (and in less danger of raiding) leans westward and woke.)
Finally, "Boomers" and "Gen X'ers" aren't a thing in Russia. Our generations are sliced differently: the war and the war's children (now almost dead), the postwar (sharply separated into 90s losers and profiteers), the young adults of the collapse, the children of the collapse, and those who grew up with social media and only remember Putin. It makes a world of difference if you lost a livelihood in the collapse, or was too young to have savings but had to survive on your own, or was a child in a 90s school, or grew up with an internet connection and the stability propaganda of the early 00s.
I'm not a punk and never was one, I'm an 80s disco girl by way of Saturday morning retro anime turned dystopian npc.
