Being forgotten is one of the things that enabled them to be far less heavily looted and plunded than a lot of other former soviet nations though.
They aren't doing as bad as say, the Baltics since the Soviet collapse, still worse, but not as bad as some other former Soviet nations. I was making a joke about western Europeans and Americans basically forgetting about them when doing their looting and plundering of former soviet territories. Though that is probably more geography and resources than anything else.
Oh yeah, I didn't mean they escaped unscathed, just that things aren't as bad as they could be. Still pretty bad though.
Yeah, that's a very solid point. You're absolutely right, I was just making a silly joke, but it is important to not forget the actual material conditions of these places.
