Funny how 76 percent voting to keep the soviet union in tact wasn’t enough to stop Yeltsin from dissolving it. Its almost like it was purely performative and the will of the people didn’t actually matter. Almost like Yeltsin was compromised by capitalism.

If communism is so great why did east germany and north korea need to build giant walls to prevent people from leaving?

No no you have it backwards. The wall was to stop the capitalists getting in.

In Soviet Russia, wall builds you.
