My childhood was in the 1980-s to 1990s. And it was in soviet era. I am not russian. I am Mongolian. I used to learn russian at secondary school.

My brothers would learn poems about Red Moscow, hehe.
I am missing my childhood. I wanted to go to Artek, international children's camp. I remember how i became a pioneer, classes, friends, marches. Songs. I miss that time, the USSR the most humane superpower in human history. At drawing lessons, teachers would ask to draw our imaginations for year 2000. We used to draw lots of robots and a world and write PEACE - DRUJBA. Lots of us wanted to be astronaut. When i was 5 or 6, first mongolian person flew to Cosmos, and lots of families had astronaut poster.
After 1990s there was transitional era. Economy shifted to market economy. Everybody one day became unemployed. Everybody became self employed. Privatization. We had food stamps. And as children of that time we had to go to lots of shops and stand after long long quees to get a loaf of bread and few liters of milk. Sometimes had to fight for bread. There usually was only salt and oil in the shops. It was like wild wild west. But i like that challenging part too.
I miss my childhood in socialism. It was so naive, so bright. Not all things were commercialised. I just can't describe enough. It was just wonderful.
Now 18 years have passed since 1990. Children of today have no idea about what it was like pioneer, and how happy it was in socialism. And also it was very ethical, at least for the youth.
I am missing Soviet era. Is there anybody? What you think?
