Plus, the 60s were good years almost everywhere in the world, in particular in the communist countries. But yes, you're right: for somebody who has not lived there, it's not easy to guess the reality carefully hidden under thick layers of propaganda. (Just to get an idea: we were constantly told on TV that the corrupted West is on the virge of collapse and that more and more westernes leave their countries to seek refuge in our communist countries... Hilarious, yes, I know...)
