Socialism

Are you sure it's "Poland included"? I've glanced through those links (many of which were random blogs with no sources) and they either didn't say anything about Poland or didn't say that older generation held more favorable views of USSR times. When it comes to elections majority of older generation vote for ~~ultra-nationalist~~ fascist party whose only ideology is being anti-communist and screeching that left-wing is bad. Majority of the rest of votes from people aged 50+ go to liberals. From my personal experience talking with people from that demographic I have yet to find someone who misses USSR times.
