Judging from the fact that life expectancy dropped by 8 years, popuilation numbers in all former members of the USSR having not recovered to this day, the rise of the now famous russian mafia, and all the "fun" wars in recent times. Yes it was a horrible thing. You need to be completely insane to think otherwise.
The only people who profited from it were oligarchs, the mafia, the west(and there only the upper crust) and pedophiles(so much child prostitution holy shit). For 99,9999% of mankind it was a bad thing.
