No need to exaggerate . In the Soviet Union , people lived with dignity. Ordinary workers could have a motorboat, country houses . Public schools in the USSR given education at the level of elite private schools of the West. The medicine was all-available and free of charge. Pensioners pensions were not just enough to live , but also to help the children and for grandchildren's gifts .
There was no homeless and unemployed. Apartments were given for free.
Everybody subscribed many magazines - scientific, technical, humorous , it was worth some cents only. People were educated , proud , fun , singing songs at work. Crime was almost not there.
It is difficult to imagine that life. Everything was absolutely , totally different.
