I’m pretty sure ~ 1922 was the low point using any reasonable metric. Collapse in agricultural production, widespread famine and the red terror (following years of both white and red terror..) The 1990’s were nothing compared to the Russian Civil war and it’s aftermath.
Using logic like this the collapse of the Tsarist Empire was clearly a much bigger disaster.
