>almost 30 years since communism
>slavs still as much behind western europe as they were in 1991
Why are Slavs incapable of being prosperous and first world?
To me, it seems like they need a strong leader, namely, Mastery from western Europa.
why do you believe 25 years is enough to offset World War+ 50 years of communism???? it will take decades if not centuries for eastern europe to catch up

Most of those statistics are 10 years old

Ìf you looked at the economic statistics, you'd see they are catching up very quickly and many will reach western Europe tier prosperity in two decades or less
so to answer your question: it actually takes decades (four) to recover from USSR rule

They were poorer than france or UK for example but not poorer than Finland for other example.
Communism ruined slavs forever. They can never recover, if they could there would be at least SOME improvement already
