>From what I gathered, people above a certain age say that their country was better under Soviet Union

Assuming this is true, it's because these are soviet leftovers who had a low education, were indoctrinated from a young age, and lived during the dream phase where you were told what to do, where to live, etc. Then came the bill when everything collapsed because this didn't work. I can make everybody happy tomorrow by emptying the state coffers and institutionalizing national NEETDOM, can't promise our happiness will last long but we can try! And regardless of what they think, it was shit.

Edit: about "why is Orban pro-putin?", this is a joke right?

No, genuine question, he is Eastern European. Let us go further, they claim Hungary is pro-Russian, how come?

No, I'd rather not spend my time on what seems to be a promising exercise in moving the goalpost. Not sure I'd classify hungary as eastern European (I was mostly referring to slavs) but sure you can find at least a pro russian guy among eastern europeans, especially dictator ones.

So you actually have no answer to why you believe Orbán, or even the people (allegedly) of Hungary pro-Putin?
