>It was because of Eurovision I think. Country that was almost falling on African level can't just start being better without any reason.

Ukraine wasted tons of cash to ESC which can go and to other things to imrove country. Lol, i think you forgot "cycle in economy", in which after falling of economy there will be it growth. And if you count that Ukraine is on Africa's level, then count some African country and Ukraine. Oh yeah, Russia is almost like Nigeria, i forgot. And i dont think that in African small city will bild a lot of new comfortable houses and a lot of new shops (because rly in Lutsk where i live in last 5 years or even 3 years built a lot of new modern buildings.)

>I didn't pretend that Russia is some kind of absolute economical heaven. Only thing I said is that compared to Ukrainan economy and standard of living it is Switzerland. Or why millions of Ukrainians still work in Russia?

It is Switzerland? Just go out from Moscow/Shreksbourg to small village into siberia and to small village in Ukraine and you will see huge difference between them. Yes, in Moscow and Pieter lives much better, than in Ukraine, but most of population (80-90% i guess) lives not in these cities. And there quality of life is bad. Yes, Ukraine has bad economy, but Russia has worse. And you didnt notice that Russia's economy gew at 0,2% less, than Ukraine's. Because these Millions are migrants from East Ukraine or these guys, who worked before war starts and they now cant go into Ukraine. And where most ppl works? Right! In Moscow! It means Russia is so centralised. It is bad. Russia must be much less centralised.
