How did that work out for Eastern Europe when the Soviet Union was in power?

Actually, not that bad, if you ask me

We had the the Russian Film School, the Polish Film and Animation school because of that

We had Stanisław Lem and Andrei Tarkovsky

We had East Germany Punk that inspired a lot of European bands (including Italian CCCP)

Now there is no typical eastern cultural product anymore.

Even in China they now produce massive blockbusters with American actors...

Why are people so desperate to trot out this one tired example while ignoring every other country and pretending context doesn't exist?
