By contrast, Ukraine became the worst managed of all the post-Soviet states, with cronyism and corruption thwarting productive capacity, and causing the country to fall further and further behind other post-communist countries in transition. Most notable is the comparison with Poland: at independence, the two countries had roughly the same GDP per capita; today, Poland’s is more than three times higher.
相反，乌克兰成为前苏联国家中治理得最差的一个，任人唯亲和腐败阻碍了产能，也导致乌克兰与其他后共产主义转型国家距离越拉越大。与波兰的对比最引人注目：独立时，两国人均GDP基本持平；如今，波兰人均GDP比乌克兰高三倍。
