I sense a fair bit of unconscious American exceptionalism in this very thread. The US having ideals of democracy and a document dictating democratic institutions does not mean that those in power can't undermine them and destroy them with the people's will and enough money. The USSR held Marxist ideals, but Stalin single-handedly degenerated the worker's state through his cult of personality and ruthlessness alone.
And the soviet constitution is quite liberal and very full of freedoms and rights .. Shame like in America no one reads it and it's worth an issue of Pravda at the end of the day.. But hey at least I have toilet paper
