[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the poll again.

If discussion is so open now, explain to me these numbers. Also, as you can see, public opinion about Stalin has gotten more positive since 2001. That’s the trend I’m talking about.

Very simple - life in the "new Russia" has been bad enough for enough people to view the past nostalgically, or make them appreciate things about the past that they took for granted.[/quote]

That doesn’t make sense. Standards of living in Russia improved throughout the same time public opinion about Stalin also improved. This is the Putin era I’m talking about, not the 90s.[/quote]

Standards of living didn't improve for everyone at the same rate, and it's not all about the sausage you know.

It might not make sense to you but it might for others.  You are not the only person in the universe.[/quote]

Overall they absolutely did improve. Your explanation simply doesn’t make sense. Show me evidence that people in Russia largely think their lives have gotten worse under Putin and then I’ll believe you. I can show you Levada and FOM polling that reflects the opposite sentiment. [/quote]
