Russia was more tolerant than America, back when Russia was socialist. Now that Russia is capitalist, its about the same as America, if not even worse in some respects. Also from what my friends parents told me, life was made really easy to the people. There was free education, free healthcare, free housing, so basically there were no homeless people, and everyone had a part in society. There was zero unemployment, so everyone had a job. People had their whole life planned out so they lived a care free life, meaning they had no problems. Nowadays you see so many poor and homeless people begging for money on the streets, and at the same time you see extreme luxury (millionaires owning expensive cars, dressed in the most fashionable clothes, etc.) So now there are so many more contrasts, while in the Soviet Union everyone was basically average. Still your salary and lifestyle depended on your profession. My friends parents were kind of poor and they didnt earn as much as his dads family. But still they lived a satisfied life, they could all afford going on vacations, having a summer house, etc. My friends mom tells me she was happy and my friends dad too, so I think at the end of the day that is what counts. It was peaceful. Theres so much more to the Soviet Union, but I tried to summarize it for everyone reading this.
