See, that’s the trick. They (Ukraine and some other former republics) are now claiming that they were never willing part of the socialist project, but instead were forcefully subjugated by ebil russkies. And that it was never about socialism at all, but rather Russian chauvinism.
It’s the POV of their ruling class. The bourgeoisie were never willing participants, and they own and control everything under capitalism so “the country’s official position is”. The polls don’t lie, the people preferred life under socialism.
