Some 4 or 5. I come from a country that was in the Soviet Union and it makes sense to us.
State sanctioned patriotism,
an interpretation of history that is not like in the rest of the world,
outside forces are portrayed as the enemy and people are held in fear of threat, attention is diverted to it from internal problems,
crappy internal situation (American health care and elderly care, social guaranties suck, etc. There were other problems in CCCP),
countrymen are portrayed as the saviors of the world,
abuse of human rights whenever matters of state security are used as an excuse,
+ others
