Couldn't believe that 77% percent of Czechs said that they are worse off now. And in the source you provide there's only that 23% think it's better now. I really don't know what to say to everyone praising the USSR after hearing stories from my whole family about how so grateful they are that it's over.

Am Czech, the average person is genuinely better off today (at least materially) than during communism. You would need to wait years to get a telephone, car, or TV
