    Word for a person stuck in a Soviet mindset?

    My friend asked me if I knew a word that meant, "a person stuck in a Soviet mindset," and insisted he had heard the word before. Does anyone happen to know? Thanks.

    Совок (sovok). Very colloquial word.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
