Hi, could you link the original dataset too to approve the submission?
2010-2014 seem to have been good times to be Russian. What happened?
I tought Ukraine was on the level of Russia or at least Belarus before 2014, but I didn’t expect it to be even lower, what’s the reason?
Suck it Russia.
Lol Russia after 2014. Still amazes me that the sanctions was not harder after the poison scandal in Salisbury, when Russian blow an arms factory in the air in Czechia or after they shot down a civil aircraft over Ukraine.
It’s that bad in Ukraine? Even Russia is doing… alright.
What is Estonia doing so well? Digital stuff?
🇪🇺 turning shitholes into actual developed countries
If those figures are true then I can see why ethic Russians in eastern Ukraine might want closer ties with Russia (including being part of Russia). It’s not looking for a return to the Soviet ‘glory days’ or Russian unity, it’s cold hard money and quality of life.
Russian numbers after 2000 are a part of the issue why Putin is still around these days
It must be a great feeling to experience that level of economic growth and rise of standard of living in your lifetime.
(Refrencing the Baltics)
Poland? Former East Germany? Hungary? Czechia?
Should have used PPP
What’s up with the central Asian countries? From 1992 until 2012 Tajikistan’s and Uzbekistan’s GDP per capita more than triples, with Tajikistan going from 250 to 850, Uzbekistan from but from 650 to 1950 and Kyrgyzstan doubling from 570 to 1130.
…But from 2012 until 2022 they’ve completely stagnated. Tajikistan went from 850 to 839, Uzbekistan from 1950 to 1900 and Kyrgyzstan from 1130 to 1220. Kazakhstan also stagnated, going from 11500 in 2012 to 10000 in 2022, but at least they’re still at a relatively high level compared to the others.
What went wrong there?
On the other hand you have Turkmenistan which had an astronomical growth from 390 in 1992 to 5700 in 2012 to 8840 in 2022, landing it in a pretty respectable place ahead of a number of European countries.
This fucking music
One must also think that if your country does not need to import anything (that would be the xtreme case) then it doesnt really matter this value. If I earn 50€/month, but renting costs 10€/month, then maybe I can even safe money!
So countries that are based on primary industry, with very low industrialization, they may have decent lives with much less money than other countries with much higher GDP./capita.
East Germany: 37,000$ per Capita in 2019
Call me petty but it made me cum a little every time Russia was overtaken by another country.
Azerbaijan be like: I am comin… oops… I am falling… nah, no time to fall… ah shit, I am falling again.
As an Azerbaijani I can say till 2014 Azerbaijan was living in the heaven. Everybody was ok and nobody had economical problem. Then the sanctions happened to Russia (our economy strongly tied to Russian economy) and oil prices dropped, and suddenly, many people found themselves in depression and poverty.
hmm i think i noticed a pattern.
can someone remind me, which ones decided to ally with the west?
Upvote simply because the end result is on for more than a split second (as in most other videos of this kind).
The last few years seem to have been very great for Ukraine in terms of economic development.
Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t it a bad idea to compare GDP between countries like that with no other context? Imo you can’t make claims about how ‘rich’ countries are without factoring in stuff like cost of living, taxation policies and income inequality.
In short, the closer you are to Russia, the poorer you will be because Russia will make you poorer, one way or another.
Go estonia

Numbers are strange to say the least.
What units are they in? World bank number for Estonian GDP PPP per capita in 2020 is ~38000$
Everyone is rightfully talking about the wonder of the Baltics here. But I’d also like to point our the remarkable trajectory of Turkmenistan:
– one of the poorest post-Soviet states immediately after the Soviet collapse, at only 10% of Russia’s GDP/capita
– to today a GDP/capita number that is very close to Russia’s GDP per capita
The almost nullified a 10x wealth gap with Russia in merely 30 years time.
They should do it by purchasing power parity. This would give a more accurate picture. Also, Russia has a way higher GDP than the quality of life the average Russian experiences in reality because it’s mostly based on oil and gas revenues that nobody benefits from except oligarchs and Putin.
