December 1991. It’s quite blur, but I remember my relatives being confused and distressed. At that point pretty much nobody could imagine what to expect next and how life without the union would look like.
Communist propaganda was extremely strong back then and weakening of the communist party scared the hell out of people. They felt like it was the end of the world.
Interesting 🧐
My grandma was a communist but no one else in the family cared one bit. They looked at her as “the communist”. Life went on business as usual.
My grandma had her home and land confiscated by communists and one of her sons still grew up to be a communist.
I think most people with a connection to eastern europe or other commie states will have had at least one family member who took the poison red pill.
Made get-togethers more interesting.
Was she a USSR born?probably depends on the family’s political views and expectations. E.g. we lived with grandparents and were close to getting own apartment from the government. USSR falling apart meant losing many benefits and subsidies promised in exchange for years of work.
I think so.
