Comparative estimates of the economic development of the former USSR countries

On December 26, 1991, the USSR ceased to exist. The question of how the economics of 15 former Soviet Union republics have developed over the past 32 years is of considerable both theoretical and practical interest, which became the basis for this study. Its purpose was to determine and evaluate changes in the economic development level and dynamics of the former USSR countries by conducting a comparative analysis of the level and dynamics of economic development. The study used a previously developed methodology for determining and estimating the level and dynamics of the country's economic development, significantly modified taking new circumstances into account. To achieve the purpose of the study, indicators of the dynamics of economic development of the former USSR countries for 2010-2021 were determined. Indices of economic development indicators dynamics for 2010-2015 and 2015-2021 were calculated on this basis. This analysis made it possible to calculate comparative estimates of the level and dynamics of economic development, comparative estimates of changes in the level and dynamics of economic development, the ratio of max and min values of comparative estimates of the level andchanges in the level of economic development, dynamics and changes in the dynamics of economic development of the former USSR countries. To obtain this information, the theoretical and methodological issues that arose during the study were resolved. All this made it possible to conduct a comparative analysis of the level and dynamics of economic development of the countries, the results of which led to conclusions about the level and dynamics of economic development of the countries of the former USSR.
