Yeah, Ive heard similar through the grapevine, that some older and now less employed Ukrainians now fondly remember the old Soviet economy/job market.
Its gotta be tough being Ukrainian. Such a strong and beautiful people and a beautiful country, too, but damn, that neighborhood has been one of the historically worst places to be. Ever!
Last year Ukraine had the lowest new car sales since 1967.
Just imagine what car sales hey had in 1960s and why.
