When Russia and Ukraine will be on Polish stage of reforms then we will compare them to Poland. Also, you cannot compare Poland to such a little states like Czech Rep., Bulgaria or Hungary.

Using that scale, we could say, you can't compare Poland to Russia since it is a little state). Which stage of reforms would it be? The flat tax rate? The death of the sales tax? The unemployment rates? The growth rates? The reforms in the size of government?

I think that these three countries (especially Poland and Ukraine) had a bit similar systems, heavy industry, mining.. Come on, introducing flax tax is not enough, Russian economy exist mostly because of gas and oil, that is whole secret. Russia is not even really democratic, then want do you want to compare. They still using this old communist practices with over-employment, they did privatized few firms and mostly to loyal oligarchs. There is nothing to compare here, don’t waste my time.
