Is it all Putin? What good reason is there for it to choose not be a giant, rich Poland?

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.

cr. Ukr was in Russia's sphere. Can't have rebellion within the empire or the whole thing collapses.

we are on opposite sides of the ukraine war but you are correct that russia is shit because the oligarchs there fear russian populism more than they fear globohomo taking over

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.

I think part of it has to do with Ukrainian oligarchs owning such a huge share of their GDP.

Same reason Afghanistan, Iraq and a bunch of other places trying to get Western dollars didn't. The resources and policies get sold to the West. The West isn't about making normal people well off. Quite the opposite.

Ukraine hasn't historically been united with the west or well-integrated into the EU economy. 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.

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.

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).

I guess that leaves stupidity as the only possible explanation for Ukraine's failure to improve itself for 30 years.

Poland is a great example of what happens when you sell your soul. Despite being one of the most conservative countries in Europe, they are clearly seeing their population herded towards shitlibism. So they get to experience clown world bullshit like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_Parade_(Warsaw)
