Is this actually true? Plenty of former Russians are very anti socialist, because of their experience with communism. They would say that their larger experience causes them to fear things that sound good in theory, but are terrible in practice. Either way, I doubt you could get away with saying they have a simple worldview without nuance.

I think your view really boils down to "i'm right they're wrong, so of course education and experience would cause anyone to be on my side!"
