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.
That's not exactly what the polls in the article were about though?
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.
My point is that the polls mentioned in the wiki seem to not be mentioning socio-economic systems, but the USSR country and it's culture, as well as it's dissolution (which was handled like shit in most of the countries AFAIK).
Kinda? Hard to disentangle that from the economic structures that changed.
