Same with people under communism. Once she was established and successful here, Ayn Rand tried to get her sister to leave the USSR, she visited the US but went back instead of defecting.
I have a friend who grew up in communist Poland and says the same thing about many of those from previous generations, they never quite got used to it and many did wish they could just go back to not having to fend for themselves.
After 70s even though Soviet citizens didn't have luxuries but neither were they enslaved to their Central bank. For example, after 1991 Ukraine standard of living dropped precipitously.
People who remember these times are the ones who want to go back to Soviet days but they still don't prefer communism. It was a necessary evil.
