I do not agree, oil wealth moved Russia miles ahead of 80s USSR experience (I see this first-hand).

To be fair Russia was doing pretty well around 2005/2010 , so much that people from Europe were actually moving for work and investing heavily in Russia. The confrontation against US an Europe and oil prices tanking made the situation difficult again. But no one wants to go back to USSR, aside from a few nostalgic politicians.

You mean the times when they were standing in line for toilet paper and bread or the times when millions of Ukrainians died from hunger.
