#1 So what this gentleman is kind of saying is that the glorious economy that Ukraine enjoyed in 1981 was from their agriculture and industries producing products directly for the Soviet Union, and no one else. Everything there was hunky-dory.... until the Soviet Union fell apart.

Having lived under the Soviet systems, and learning how to game those systems to better themselves, the Ukrainians didn't immediately become absolutely above board in how they got on with their lives.

Mr. Davydov might want to look at his own current Russian culture of greed and corruption for reference when commenting on how the Ukrainians got that way.
