Comparison 20 Post Soviet Countries: Who lives Better
The Soviet Union. For seventy years in the twentieth century, we lived as one large country. Today, the former republics of this union live in diverse ways: some are lagging behind and living in poverty, while others are developing rapidly. In this video, we compare 15 former Soviet republics and five neighboring countries, such as Poland, Turkey, Iran, China, and Mongolia, across 19 indicators—salaries, education, the Human Development Index, income, and similar indicators—that reflect citizens' standard of living. They will appear one by one. Here are the points the countries receive for each rating. And here are the countries' global rankings. After each rating, a red table appears, accumulating the points the countries receive for each rating. The higher the score, the worse the standard of living in the country; the lower the score, the better.
1. Kazakhstan – the country has changed beyond recognition after 28 years. And last year, it was ranked among the top ten fastest-growing economies. 2. Estonia – the people of this country probably live better than others now. It is the smallest country in the Baltics. 3. Azerbaijan – life here revolves around oil. The country's economy, although small, is stable. 4. Uzbekistan – is changing every day. In recent years, it has been improving relations with its neighbors, especially Tajikistan.
5. Kyrgyzstan – located in Central Asia. A unique country with incredibly high mountain peaks and hospitable people.
6. Lithuania – in 1990, it was the first of the Soviet republics to declare independence, and the collapse of the USSR began with Lithuania.
7. Russia – the largest and most populous of the 15 republics. The country's economy is based on its natural resources, especially oil and gas.
8. Belarus – compared to other countries, Belarus has been transformed. Life here is quite good. 9. Tajikistan is a picturesque country with incredibly high mountain peaks. 93% of the country's territory is covered by mountains, which contain almost all the elements of the periodic table.
10. Ukraine is the largest country in Europe. Life in Ukraine has been changing in recent years, and it's up to Ukrainians to decide which way to go.
