- jhgb 5y agoIn EX-Soviet states, there clearly was no Cold War meddling after the Cold War from anyone.
- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoNot sure why you're downvoted, I didn't clarify that ex-Soviet states ONLY existed during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union existed. I messed up on that point.
- jhgb 5y agoThat makes no sense. As long as the Soviet Union existed, the "ex-soviet states" you're talking about existed as republics of the Soviet Union (which is just a colloquial abbreviation for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). They weren't states at that point. They became ("ex-Soviet") states when the Soviet Union broke up, and that coincided with the end of the Cold War. Since their existence as states and the Cold War don't overlap in time, those states couldn't have been subject to "Cold War meddling".
- mc32 5y agoI don’t know your point. The west didn’t interfere. Great. Despite that some ex-republics did well after de sovietization/colonization and some did poorly. Some are utterly corrupt and inept others are doing relatively well for themselves. Leadership after liberation has enormous impact on how well they do.
