They say, ppl in all the post-Soviet countries have never surpass Soviet-quality wellbeing. Even in Russia, famous petrocrathy, not to mention other post-Soviet coutry. And I, as a someone who has lived all my life in that lands, really believe that, despite I really appreciate all new freedoms we have been introduced to.
- trasz 5y agoPoland is a post-Soviet country, and its quality of life is incomparably better than during Soviet times. Also the life quality in Ukraine exceeds this of Russia. I believe the main problem here is Russians’ delusion that they are still an empire. War against Ukraine might help in dispelling this myth. Also: the sooner Russians realize that they need to flee the country - because it won’t get any better during their lifetimes - the better.
