There still isn't. In my experience pretty much the only thing in the fSU that correlates with being anti-Soviet is age (if you can be anti something that no longer exists). If you are 30 or younger, you are almost certainly anti-Soviet. What a coincidence -- people who grew up after the end of the system and whoe only real memory of it is the craptastic Gorbachev era (why Westerners who should know better still idolize this guy is beyond me). If you are over 60, you are almost certainly pro-Soviet. 31-59 is vague.
