The longer it is from the days of the Soviet Union, the more Eastern Europe will take on Western Europe's philosophies (and prices).

That all depends on what lies behind the "death" of Communism. If the collapse of Communism was ordered from above for the purposes of penetrating/fracturing traditional Western alliances, then Eastern Europe is being used by the Communists as a Trojan horse. As I said before, the real death of Communism will be accompanied by mass trials (a la Nuremburg) to bring the Communist elite to justice. As far as I can tell, that would mean prison sentences (or worse) for the majority of those in power in Russia and Eastern Europe.
