I think the individual's personality has degraded. Now we live in conditions with roughly the same level of freedom as other countries.
Don't you notice how elderly people slow things down? At every turn! (It's annoying, but my grandmother slows things down terribly.) And don't say it's because of old age.
Elderly foreigners are completely different. I was a little surprised when a grandmother of divine appearance completely crushed me as a total noob in Mortal Kombat.
and secondly: there are exceptions everywhere... and there are many such examples...
Everything said above is my Opinion, and No One can Argue with Me.
With respect.

And in the West, the individual's personality doesn't degrade? In the Soviet Union, such literary and artistic works were created. Soviet cinema is the best in the world (IMHO).
