I'll mirror your point and say I respect you and your point of view, even if I find it wrong.

Secondly, I'll also mirror you and state that the majority of Russians that lived in the USSR that are alive today want it back. 1932 was just the beginning of the USSR, barely a quarter century from Feudalism! Absolutely nobody is saying they want to go back to a developing country.

A more accurate look would be what the USSR looked like post-WWII, pre-collapse.

Blackshirts and Reds is a pretty good book, not too long, that might give you a different perspective. Additionally, Robert Thurston is a historian who actually lived in the USSR and participated in local elections, despite not being a citizen, because he was a Worker. Additional, conflicting views, if you want to check.

Again, I'm not pro-ussr, but I am trying to dispel some myths here.
