Poverty and alcoholism remains a problem in the Ukraine and Russia.

I agree with you. Poland's currency the zlotney has resisted the inflation from europe and fares better than any other currency.


Estonians differ from the Finns.... I don't think the estonians speak suomi.

Suomi is the name for Finland in the finnish language.

lol, I'd agree on this.

Definitely the Czech Republic is one of the most successful of the post-Communist states. They have the stable economy and pretty high standard of living. The level of crime is relatively low there. Typical small and quiet European country.

Really. You can start by comparing the level of crime of the Czech Republic with the level of crime of other post-Communist states as Albania, Russia, and former Soviet republics as Ukraine, or Moldavia.

If we include Ex YU in it, although it was never under 'Iron Curtain' I'd go with Slovenia as a most successful country today.
