I think it's down to the way the cold war ended. Never mind Stalin's massacres, 46 years of the threat of MAD or the invasion of the BRD, or whatever. The war ending with the USSR deciding to collapse rather than being defeated by force of arms makes it seem almost comical in hindsight. So it can't have been that bad really. Can it?
