Most people actually preferred Socialism over modern Capitalism in post-Soviet states. Socialism works better than Capitalism, and was more democratic.

Find me an old person anywhere that isn't nostalgic for their youth.

Considering that once Capitalism was restored wealth inequality skyrocketed, 7 million people died, and previously relied on safety nets were destroyed or sold for parts to Capitalists, I don't think it's something that can be attributed to simple youthful nostalgia.
