My experiences have been markedly different. As a P.I. from the mid 1980s through to this century, I spent a fair amount of time in N.E. Philly (also North Philly, but that was different folks and a different culture) which housed, and continues to house a large number of Russian immigrants. I can't say that any of them ever struck me as anti-socialist. In fact, they were all adept at grabbing whatever "socialist" gov't benefits they could . . . subsidized housing, stipends, food stamps, and special bennies of all sorts available to them as refugees from then communist Russia.
And, as zin so rightly pointed out, Russians are strongly imbued with collectivist (read socialist) ways of banding together and getting along that predates the rise of the "Communist" (read totalitarian state fascist) regime of Lenin and Stalin et. al.
