A great time was in 2000-s, in 1990-s all these countries were ravaged by crime from Russia and extreme poverty because their economies relied heavily on Russia. You can’t switch your economy overnight. Just look at UK post Brexit and they don’t have even a fraction of problems people had post USSR.

The mistakes of the soviet empire really did ask get repaid in the 90s and that did such.
But for a lot of countries that was a great time that they finally got free from Russia.
