My girlfriend in the early 90’s was a Croat refugee after the USSR got couped. Her family fled so that the newly emboldened fascists in Yugoslavia didn’t murder them.
We met working at customer service job for an overseas company. She would always tell me that she works twice as hard here as she did back home; and we don’t even get paid enough to live here.
That’s a real person with real first-hand experience of the before-and-after of the Soviet Union dissolved. I can text her right now. Your pee-paw’s pee-paw in law who lost his plantation to the people can come at me if he wants to talk. But I doubt they’re even alive still; assuming they existed in the first place.

Update: I called her, and she’s living on Okinawa now, with two adult sons! And her partner seems to be out of the picture…
