If Ukraine had been able to show the same growth as Poland in twenty years - this would be a very strong argument against the regime of President Vladimir Putin in Russia.

This was stated by Russian political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin, writes "Apostrophe".

"Of course, the example of Ukraine would be very important. But there are two things here. First, Ukraine - after all, the post-Soviet country, is therefore deeply affected by the tumor of nomenklatura capitalism and the corruption associated with it. Therefore, it is very difficult to make it a transparent competitive economy with a good growth potential, as in the same Poland. And, secondly, of course, will do their best to interfere ", he explained..

About Poland, according to the political scientist, Moscow "has already been forgotten," and Ukraine is "the closest country in mentality, history".

"If it also shows a good example of growth, it will be very painful. I hope that this will happen, but it takes decades.

Well, now (Russia will be, - Red. ) With all its might to hamper development processes: send subversive groups, maintain tension in Donbass. This all restrains economic growth. So the strategy is almost understandable. It is also approximately understandable that it is unpromising. But the other is not, "added Oreshkin.

As the "Observer" wrote, the region is named where Russia is ready to strike Ukraine.
