In result almost all former soviet plants and factories turned into warehouses now (where real estate costs something) or look very much like Chernobyl area
Maybe that's because soviet manufacturing was shit in general?
And it could not compete with much more superior products from the west.
In Latvia you can see VAZ about as frequently as you can see Maserati, Ferrari or Lamborghini.
No one is buying these Soviet/Russian made shit.

By the way - why you are even bothering with these elections?
Everyone in the West already know that czar Putin's boyars "United Russia" will get majority and czar himself will be coronated next year to rule for another 12 years and maybe even more.
And that's sad - it means that cold war against Baltic states will continue.
