Zero Hedge/Campus Reform: Yale Prof: "Everyone I've Asked...Says Life Was Better Under The Soviets"
Yale University professor claimed on Twitter that all of the people she surveyed in Eastern Europe and Central Asia insisted that “life was better under the Soviets."
“Every single person I have I [sic] asked in Central Asia (and Eastern Europe) over the past decade and a half has said life was better under the Soviets -- 100 percent,” O’Dell tweeted on Tuesday.

WNU Editor: I have family, friends, acquaintances, business contacts, etc. in eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union that would easily fill my Rolodex with 1,000 names.
