In some post-Soviet republics, there is a more negative view of the USSR, although there is no unanimity on the matter. In large part due to the [[Holodomor]], ethnic [[Ukrainians]] have a negative view of the Soviet Union.<ref>{{Cite thesis |url=http://lup.lub.lu.se/record/25786 |title=Making Sense of Suffering : Holocaust and Holodomor in Ukrainian Historical Culture |first=Johan |last=Dietsch |date=26 October 2006 |publisher=Lund University |type=thesis/docmono |via=lup.lub.lu.se |access-date=26 October 2020 |archive-date=24 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220424221612/https://lup.lub.lu.se/search/publication/25786 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Russian language in Ukraine|Russian]]-speaking Ukrainians of Ukraine's southern and eastern regions have a more positive view of the USSR. In some countries with internal conflict, there is also nostalgia for the USSR, especially for [[refugee]]s of the [[post-Soviet conflicts]] who have been forced to flee their homes and have been displaced. The many Russian enclaves in the former USSR republics such as [[Transnistria]] have in a general a positive remembrance of it.<ref>{{Cite thesis |url=https://www.elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=5289947 |title=Nostalgia and discontinuity of life: A multiple case study of older ex-Soviet refugees seeking psychotherapeutic help for immigration-related problems. |type=PhD |first=A.
