Slowly imagine the concept of censorship, denouciations, and SB aresting people who did not share the traitors' version of economics, politics, literature, and history.
Got your point but don't you think that freedom of thought doesn't guarantee a higher educational level? Even then one should keep in mind that freedom particularly intellectual is a very subjective concept. I for one can't say that people have become significantly more free since the commies.

If you want I can share some of my observations on the Russian society... People here have become more rude (in my mind it's somewhat of "less intellectual"), less educated in terms of their own language and general outlook, more educated in terms of foreign languages. Can't tell anything for certain about the exact sciences.
Yes, people have more sources to sip knowledge at, but a few takes advantage of this.
Or else it's only speculations.
