Date: February 7th, 2023 12:02 PM Author: Glassy Institution Friendly Grandma The oligarchs have it really, really good. If you never want to share your pie with anyone you have to keep the boot pressed down pretty hard. This has been going on for centuries.
That and Ukraine having oil and gas threatening to be Europe's new gas station is a recipe for this shit. |

Date: February 7th, 2023 12:08 PM Author: twisted lay Why didn't Ukrainians become richer than Russia all those years Ukraine was free and united with the west? Even before the war Russia had a higher per capita GDP and a more equal distribution of wealth. It looks like Russia had better leadership, smarter decisionmakers, and more talented people than Ukraine + the USA. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5285767&forum_id=2#45899367) |

Date: February 7th, 2023 2:35 PM Author: twisted lay I think part of it has to do with Ukrainian oligarchs owning such a huge share of their GDP. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5285767&forum_id=2#45900077) |

The resources and policies get sold to the West. The West isn't about making normal people well off. Quite the opposite. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5285767&forum_id=2#45900441) |

This fight started because UKR was recently trying to break free from Russia's sphere and become like a Poland. Russia is also the more unequal economy.

Date: February 7th, 2023 2:49 PM Author: twisted lay Russia has been even LESS integrated with the west and the EU, yet it's wealthier than Ukraine and has a more equitable distribution of wealth. So the mere fact that Ukraine flirted with Russia from time to time can't explain why Ukraine became poorer than Russia. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5285767&forum_id=2#45900156) |

Date: February 7th, 2023 2:57 PM Author: Saffron dashing state genital piercing Russia has oil and gas. looking at eastern europe post-USSR I don't think there's any doubt that countries that integrated into the western markets performed better than the places that stayed closer to the russian sphere (belarus and ukraine).

Despite being one of the most conservative countries in Europe, they are clearly seeing their population herded towards shitlibism.
