Economic crash in Poland, Czechia or Hungry was nowhere near to what was happening in Ukraine and Russia [0].
Also, after crash in 1990 Polish GDP was growing each year until 2020, but fertility rates keep on dropping until 2004. Then they stabilized below replacement rate.
GDP can not explain changes in fertility rate. There were cultural changes happening that had bigger impact.
