Of course we look at the past. But how would you summarise the last 2 decades in the ex-USSR region from the point of view of 'Business Friendliness'. Is it getting better or worse? Are our standards changing, I certainly hope they are.
- guard-of-terra 15y ago- There is an actual economy (there wasn't after the collapse of USSR) - It is possible to run a "white" business paying taxes and social securities (During the 199x it was possible to add up all taxes on profit and get e. g. 102%, meaning that you have to pay 102 roubles in taxes for every 100 you earn:) - There were all sorts of organized crime. They are no longer. (At least they never intervene with the normal leagal business these days. Because I understand how "There is no longer any organized crime" would be seen as overstatement). There are surely still many problems, but you just can't compare.
