One of the most profound comments I’ve run across online was, “People think history happens in the span of a thought.” So much is encapsulated in that.

A lot of people from Romania and Ukraine have communist nostalgia. I’ve read articles about it. Mostly the old people. It proves that people often forget about how bad things used to be and just want to remember something because it was a long time ago.
