This is from me about Ukraine::
Ukraine was in very good shape in the USSR compared to where it is now.
Historically, Ukraine has not been able to function on its own and to have its own state other than when it was under or with Russia.
Soon after the Soviet Union ceased to exist, Ukraine was taken over by the Western Ukrainian nationalists who dream about the way things were in WWII when they were occupied by the Germans, and in that part of Ukraine the hatred of anything Russian is almost inborn (the Polish influence).
