Yes; former communist but not former soviet union. Old habits die hard I guess.

Not sure if we’re talking about the same situation, but the last time I was in Bulgaria, there was massive brain drain and a lot of, eh, ‘false nostalgia’ for a very different past.

But tons of money coming in from the EU. I can imagine a lot of public quiet, private ‘angst’ about the kind of situation you’re describing.

Wild guess - Romania? (If not Bulgaria)

  • Your guess is correct. However I've not personally witnessed any nostalgia for communism in Romania though.
