          A great time was in 2000-s, in 1990-s all these countries were ravaged by crime from Russia and extreme poverty because their economies relied heavily on Russia. You can’t switch your economy overnight. Just look at UK post Brexit and they don’t have even a fraction of problems people had post USSR.
