The USSR may have been amazing depending on what things you value in life. As far as I understand, the only thing that was in abundance is stability, which is not the only thing needed for an amazing life, as far as I am concerned.

Also, the image of USSR in pop culture seems to have improved a lot and is now much better than the real thing had ever been, but that's just marketing bullshit

When you actually look at what it was not through the lens of cold war propaganda it does seem like a pretty nice place. Not to say the place was perfect but for what it was they did a really good job with what they had.

EDIT: and Russia just voted to classify homosexuality as "extremism" a perfect example of just how much going capitalist has fucked them up.
