I mean, what do you remember as truly irritating and frustrating about your living conditions when you lived there? I never had an opportunity to ask a Russian person that, and it would be interesting to know.
Speaking from my own experience I would say that life back then was about the same as today, living conditions included. Whether everything was really really bad or tickety-boo depended entirely on you just as it does now and I suppose just as it always will. For those wondering how long ago "back then" is, I am 53 so do your own maths.
