Always the easy answer: blame it on Ukrainians...
BTW, I believe Russia and Poland are supposed to have equivalent GDP in PPP (what you can actually buy for life necessities),
with Ukraine higher on currency value basis, but Russia making up for it in lower costs in other areas.
Long term, with EU economy not able to grow much as a whole, Russia would seem to have the better prospects
especially with much more reforms still able to be done, but it's great that Poland has done relatively well,
certainly didn't work out so well for Romania, Bulgaria, or Yugoslavia.
