After around 1919 and before Stalin USSR was democratic. And from 80-ies to the end. And democracy ended about 1996. Then shooting parlament from tanks, then Eltsin names his successor, then his successor wins, then removal of gubernator elections in 2002-2003, and everything else.

And in comparasion USSR was more democratic than empire except Stalin time. Stalin time managed to be even worse.

You want to say that Russian Empire that was monarchy had more democracy? THAT is delusion.

Or you want to say Stalin was good? That is delusion too.
