And they all will confirm that citizens of Soviet Union were visiting their countries to buy the goods, not vice versa. That's not a kind of secret.

I'm not defending or blaming anybody or anything. I'm telling you the facts. We are living in the informational world, so everybody can check everything I say. What can I do if the English version of Wikipedia states that every 2nd Soviet family had a personal dacha (keep in mind that village people had no need in dachas and that lazy ones had no dachas too)? Does it mean that Wikipedia defends the Soviet Union? Maybe it's just an online which publish the facts only, but not defends or blames some particular political regime?
The same applies to Putin. I don't remember a single post where I have defended him or his politics personally. Do you? Russia is not Soviet Union and Russia is not Putin. Take it as is.
