Well, my unilateral opinions follows (and them also may open a floodgate :P )

In brief: changes to the worse.

To make comparison, people must have some idea what "capitalism" is. For now, they can only compare socialism and criminal oligarchy. Strange it is, most of the people think socialism was better.

At most, they think they made BIG mistake 12 years ago :(

(They are "Kazakhstan" and "Ukraina") Also in brief: mostly and in Russian Federation, but even worse.
propiganda and people disappearing
I'm afraid that in the US "communists" did disappear, along with a few other people who weren't communists but it was convenient for the government to label them so to make it easier for them to disappear.
Both the Socialist governments of the USSR and the "Democratic" governments of the USA where more similar in there security ways than most people in the USA would like to think. The US just had to be a bit more discrete.
