The article seems to be missing polling history from countries that don't support it's thesis, like Poland.

No idea what you mean by a "thesis," but countries like Estonia are included. I am unsure if polling has been done in Poland regarding this, but even if everyone in Poland prefered Capitalism it would still be true that the majority of ex-Soviet citizens prefer Socialism.

ex-Soviet citizens prefer Socialism.

That's not exactly what the polls in the article were about though?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Not sure how to take the idea that dissolving Socialism and replacing it with Capitalism was harmful other than a preference that Socialism be maintained.
