[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up In Soviet Union, but the most western part of it. 
Every time somebody goes on and on how bad life was, I'm looking at them as if they are doing or saying it for attention. For my parents, grandparents, myself, my friends and most of my countrymen life was beautiful from 1945-1988. 
There are a few museums left in the Baltics. The Baltics were also very eager to take everything down as fast as possible.[/quote]
I also grew up in the most Western part of Soviet Union. From the text above I'd say it's pretty clear you are an ethnic Russian.

Of course, people were doing the same things they always do, under any regime - working, spending time with friends, falling in love, decorating their apartments etc. However, Soviet life in those occupied countries was not experienced as some beautiful era by 'most countrymen' in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.

And yes, we took down the monuments celebrating occupying forces as soon as we could. That does not mean there are no museums left :D
