That's true for countries in which russia directly meddles. Countries that thrown off the yoke, like Czechia or Poland have one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

You might be correct now. They are probably correct about the 90s or early 2000s.

Then again crime rates in Belarus for instance don't seem to be much higher than in Poland or Lithuania.

That's one of the sources of Lukashenko's legitimacy, just as economic growth is a source of CCP's legitimacy. Russia has to reason to destabilize Belarus since their ruler is complicit.
