I was born in 1988. I have no memory of the Soviet Union. I distinctly remember Clinton taking office however. I also remember all of the wars in the 90s amongst former USSR states, in some cases civil wars.

There is almost no way someone my age could believe the Soviet Union boogeyman theory, because it never really existed in our lifetime. Yet, people still seem to believe that the US government is somehow incorruptible.
