You're very arrogant for how wrong you are in your absolutist framing that East Germany didn't have a mortality crisis directly post reunification

East Germany was an exception because they were reunited with a wealthy Western partner that could absorb the shock, and this was done specifically to create people like you who would think the end of the USSR was a good thing. The rest of the former Soviet bloc didn't have anything like that, and so life expectancy fell and death rates rose. It took over a decade to recover, and even today they still lag behind the rest of Europe.

Nothing of this happened here in east Germany... Institutional mutual surveillance and denunciation came to an end.

oh du süßes sommerkind. Wo sind denn die ganzen arbeitsplätze hin? Warum ist der Osten so hart nach rechts gerückt wie konnt das nur passieren??
