Just a little thought on Russia.
Being originally born in France i have had a few friends initially born in Russia, as a matter of fact two writers, both now not alive on Earth anymore. Both while recognizing that some good came out from the revolution in 1917, it came to immense losses with prisoners camps and elimination of any rebelling against central power, plus an incredible system of surveillance and spying on neighbors, giving anyone away as suspicious, practices not known as conducive to peace of mind and a sense of inner freedom.
From these two, their views on the fall of the Berlin wall and subsequent events did not so much as create a new corruption as mainly providing to the previous elites the means to continue the previous corruption, and unfortunately solidifying their power.
The one benefit they used to talk about was the relative indépendance of satellite countries which were included in the previous USSR.
Also they were both very adamant about the majority of Russian people totally able to see through the official propaganda and exacerbating in fact their deep sense of humor....
Just a small perspective from those two writers who were quite wonderful with their gift for writing, and whom I was lucky to become friends with.
