This is a stupid meme. Most people alive today that lived there before its collapse wish it had not.

Furthermore its dissolution was literally illegal and undemocratic.

Well yea, most people prefer quality of life not going down

Not just quality of life, but average life expectancy. The deliberate destruction of the Soviet Union was cause for one of the single largest drops in life expectancy in recorded history.

The ~~collapse~~ destruction of the Soviet Union also ushered in an era of unrestrained capitalist exploitation without a rival power to incentivize better social programs.

Literally the entire world felt the blow of this tragedy.
