These people are literally Holocaust-deniers.
They have been taught in schools (paid for by our tax dollars) and in universities (staffed by open Marxists) to deny the historical realities of what happened in the Soviet Union: the repressions (political, religious, ethnic, and artistic), the forced labor and exiles to Siberia, the Gulag death camps, the tortures, the purges, the intentional starvation perpetrated upon Ukraine ("lies made up by the Nazis!"), etc.
They are in total denial as they display the hammer and sickle and chant mindless slogans.
This is so common among young people that it isn't just a strange anomaly. This is the public school and university curriculum of a generation finally bearing fruit. Parents willingly sent their children off to these indoctrination centers and looked the other way while their children were taught to despise their own heritage, culture, country, and freedom itself.
These silly little boys and girls in this and other videos, people whose life experience consists of social media and the classroom, who enjoy the fruits of freedom and capitalism that are the envy of the world, are actually pontificating to a guy who really grew up in the Soviet Union how great it was because, well, "free college" (which, as Vladimir Jaffe explains, wasn't free at all).
Many of Jaffe's interviewees repeat the same Big Lie that the Socialism worked great in the USSR from 1917 to 1953 (until the end of Stalin's reign), and that the atrocities under Stalin never happened. According to The Narrative, the USSR ultimately failed because of the reforms from the time of Khrushchev and later.
And they know this not from visiting Russia or talking to people who survived the Communist Holocaust - but because they want free stuff, and they will believe in whatever fairy tale that promises to give them free stuff. Oh, and chanting. Chanting angry mantras seems to be their preferred method of education.
And these people have the ear of politicians (of both parties) who act virtually on their orders to mandate cultural-Marxist school curricula, remove inconvenient public historical landmarks and monuments that don't conform to The Narrative, denounce capitalism, raise taxes, and socialize more and more sectors of the economy to give away "free stuff."
These people actually believe that the USSR was wonderful under Stalin, and they would like to recreate that here in America. Please read that again.
Let that sink in.
PS: In 2011, I visited several sites in Siberia. Here is a link to my travel notes on the day I visited Yurga, the site of a death camp that is not a memorial park dedicated to the largely Lutheran population that was interred there, including photos and a brief interview with the Russian bishop who consecrated the park. There is a Lutheran congregation in Yurga that has survivors of the camp.
While in the city of Yekaterinburg (the site of the brutal murder of the last Russian Tsar, his wife, and children by the Bolshevik Communist revolutionaries), I visited another grim reminder of the Stalin years: a memorial park dedicated to the victims of the purges. It is a somber place marked by a large memorial cross visible from the highway. Here are my travel notes with pictures.
While in Yekaterinburg, I met a lady who was exiled to Siberia and whose grandfather, a Lutheran pastor, was shot under the Stalinist reign of terror. Here are my notes and a photograph - including links to an interview with her.

Come, Lord Jesus.
Why should we be surprised? They glorified Che Guevara.
Being involved in Catholic youth ministry, the direction of society seems going to be going downhill fast. Most - if nearly not all - of these kids do not know that Hitler was a Socialist!
Fr.Hollywood, I have some serious questions about Lutheranism, I have talked to a Lutheran pastor in my area but I am wondering about some stuff. Can you e-mail me @ charismaticcatholic@yahoo.com ?
