USSR collapse was disastrous whether you agree with it or not.

And on top of that go over what every post soviet republic went through after USSR collapsed.
Those countries were under dysfunctional system for 70 years and suddenly they're being thrown in a 180 turn economy without any institutions.
Also keep in mind that majority of republics were left on their own and had to become satellites of Russia if they wanted to survive.

- wiseowise 3y agoYou mistake me for USSR advocate. I’m not. With that being said, you can’t just dissolve such system in a year. It’s like waking up from comma and entering adult world all of a sudden. Dissolution of USSR without any planning was the reason for infamous 90s, oligarchs usurping all of the resources and kleptocracy across whole post-Soviet space. USSR should’ve went China path, for better or worse.
