It was more a parody of "Back In The USA" and "California Girls" than a celebration of the Soviets.
It's not a celebration of Soviets at all. It's a cautionary tale about fascism. And it paints a picture of what it's like for everyday citizens living in a state of fear:
Leave it 'til tomorrow to unpack my case Honey, disconnect the phone ...
You don't know how lucky you are, boys, [I'm] back in the USSR.
I thought waiting to unpack was an indication that they didn't want to waste time, and disconnecting the phone was so that they wouldn't be disturbed? 🤔
