Are there pockets of Russia where soviet culture and marxist thought remain strong? (hexbear.net)

Like, this place, Ulyanovsk, birthplace of Lenin, only Ruissian UNESCO city of literature…it’s got to be fucking sick, right?

Russia has a reputation of being full of reactionaries these days but are there still places where socialist culture remains?

Pardon me for asking such a dumb question, Russia is a massive country, so the answer is probably yes. It’s just that those of us behind the burger curtain don’t really get to learn much about massive fucking nations such as Russia, China, or India. In school we are taught that every culture east of Leipzig or South Africa is a homogenous blob. ‘Once you’ve seen Moscow, you’ve already seen Cambodia’, was the MO in high school

I think speaking Spanish while looking like a Romani person and being a communist might literally put 5 GTA stars above your head if you go to most parts of Europe.
