That's like saying communism brought up living standards for eastern Europe (It didn't)
And don't go down voting thinking I am some Englishman or American I live in eastern europe
(it did though)
Ask any person who lived at the time and why did Lithuania break of the USSR if it was so good
Ask a serf from ~~tsarist~~ imperial (for the pedants) Russia?
You do know there's a period of independence between Tsarist Russia and Soviet domination, right?
Calling them emperors for a little while but not changing anything else isn't anything like independence
