2183/1371 = 1.59 in 1995 nominal GDP ratio
56000/34070 = 1.64 in 2025 GDP PPP ratio
So the real question is why is Lithuania doing so poorly that even with massive investments from the EU over the last 30 years that is has only ever so barely slightly increased its actual edge over Belarus…

Russia has nothing to offer to the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. Only those run by tinpot dictators like Belarus prefer to remain a Russian colony, to secure the power of the leadership at the expense of their population.
Heck, even the countries in Central Asia are desperate to reduce their dependency on Russia and improve ties with the EU, knowing that it is in their best interest.
Choosing Russia means choosing poverty and no prospect of real improvement of people’s lives.

Go ork, go broke.
So many questions: why post it now? why nominal gdp per capita? why 1995? why don’t you show [other effects](https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2263911/lithuania-lost-a-million-citizens-to-emigration-how-did-it-happen)?
This sub has been filled with reposting crap ton of news and sadly the rare OC post is as shallow as many of the bot posts.
To be completely fair the cost of living is also much lower in Belarus.
