When inequality is really sky-high, you don’t even notice it. In the USSR, most people were convinced there was no inequality because they existed on a different planets than the elites.
When the USSR fell apart, inequality lessened and people started noticing it because it now existed on the same planet with them.
Of course, most of them are still convinced there was no inequality in the USSR because they didn’t personally see it.
Observations and assumptions are all subjectively anecdotal.
