Not nostalgia. Putin is what he is. Movies about hitler aren’t nostalgic. Germany under Hitler was an “enemy culture” no? We must never minimize the global disdain for Russia under Putin. How many have died? Nostalgia just isn’t the right word, or it shouldn’t be.

Maybe shouldn't be, but that doesn't mean it isn't.

Nostalgia for a time in the past, but bad things can trigger feelings from the past.

So not Nostalgia for "we really miss when Russia was great".

More like Nostalgia for 99 Luft Balloons, the song, that also came out at same time. And was part of Cold War Culture.
