Who on this list sees *only* benefits from USSR imperialism from Eastern
Europe?

(The only places where I see net benefits from USSR imperialism are
Afghanistan (Najibullah better than Taliban), Angola (Jonas Savimibi is bad
news), and Mozambique (almost anyone better than RENAMO). Everywhere else,
I think the people would have been better off if the rulers of the USSR had
simply never heard of the place...)
