Cool, now break it down by population totals rather than pretending each country has an equal population. Further, it's important to separate those raised before and after the dissolution of socialism, not just looking at population totals, where later polls have more people born after the dissolution and more people who lived in it dead and no longer able to answer.
The USSR was not a "Russian Empire," lmao.
How about you do it this time 🤣.
You set the terms, you delivered the source, I just parsed it in exactly the way you originally started it should be. Move your own goalposts and do your own math.
You did not actually follow the terms, though. It's trivial to extrapolate the data and compare to population sizes. Using the latest data and napkin math, over 51% of people total disapprove of the dissolution of the USSR, and we also know that those who lived in socialism tend to rate it higher based on separate polling targeting age groups, so it's logical to assume this number is a lowball.
