Nostalgia for the Soviet Union[1] (Russian: ностальгия по СССР) or Soviet nostalgia[2][3] is a nostalgia for the Soviet era. Some people miss the Soviet Union for its politics, its society, its culture, or its aesthetics. Such nostalgia is seen among people in Russia and the other post-Soviet states. It is also seen in persons born in the Soviet Union but long since living abroad.
