Must be a misunderstanding
1) Post-soviet countries are doing amazingly well (Poland, Baltics, etc) and very fast growing + healthy (low criminality, etc)
2) The "Russia is weak" thing; it is vastly exaggerated because it is 4 years that we hear that "Russia is on the verge of collapse" but they still manage to handle a very high intensity war against the whole West almost alone.
3) China is not a country lagging behind others at all. It is said in some schoolbooks but it is a big lie that is 0% true now.
