There's a reason most of Eastern Europe hate Russia so much

A 2013 Gallup survey showed that 66% of Armenians thought the dissolution of the USSR was harmful

In a 2016 survey, 69% of Azerbaijanis believed life was better under the USSR.

In a 2016 survey, it increased to 53% of Belarusians saying life was better under the USSR

Another Pew survey, also in 2017, showed that 43% of Georgians thought the dissolution was a good thing, compared to 42% who thought it was a bad thing.

In a 2016 survey, around 60% of Kazakhs above the age of 35 believed life was better under the USSR.

A 2013 Gallup survey showed that 61% of Kyrgyz thought the dissolution of the USSR was harmful, compared to 16% who thought it was beneficial.

A 2013 Gallup survey showed that 42% of Moldovans thought the dissolution of the USSR was harmful, compared to 26% who thought it was beneficial.[7] Regret about dissolution later increased to 70% according to a 2017 Pew survey, with only 18% saying the dissolution was a good thing.

Levada polling since the mid-1990s on the preferred political and economic system of Russians also shows nostalgia for the Soviet Union, with the most recent polling in 2021 showing 49% preferring the Soviet political system, compared to 18% preferring the current system, and 16% preferring Western democracy, as well as 62% saying they preferred a system of economic planning compared to 24% preferring a market capitalist economy.

    Eastern Europeam views of the USSR are complicated and mixed.

    To say that "most eastern Europeans dislike Russia/USSR" is counterfactual and downright confusing.

    Real convenient how Eastern Europe is complicated and mixed but you have no problem saying Central Asia or the Caucasus support the USSR.

    Wouldn’t happen to be cherry picked sources/data, would it? Let me go harvest some too!
