Re: Post-Soviet States

But Estonia had an unfair advantage over the other republics post collapse: Wine. If I remember rightly Estonia had a wine industry even during the rule of the Communist Party.

Re: Post-Soviet States

Where are Poland, Hungary, and East Germany on the list?

And "economic" freedom is not the best of measure of the "freedom" of a nation, even Singapore and Hong Kong tops the list despite political factors.

Re: Post-Soviet States

Wine?!?

Grapes don't grow here and we do not have a wine industry.

Our biggest exports are lumber and furniture.

@Tpiddy

those countries were not a part of the soviet union. They were a people's democracy in name though.
