Is it wrong that the photo on the front page gives me nostalgia?

I remember getting this paper daily when we lived in the USSR, and it wasn't all that bad. I mean, yeah, there were a lot of negatives, but living behind the 'Iron Curtain' was pretty good. We were an average family, middle-class, and had nothing to complain about...until late 1980's, and then we finally moved to the US in 1991.

He'd bring me copies of the English translation of Pravda whenever he could. Very interesting stuff.
