Neither are they shitoles. Poland especially is a great place to be. Russia has it's issues, even before the madman in charge went fully berserk, but they are nothing compared to some places like Somalia that deserve the name.
There's a reason that despite it's trash record for human rights, Russia is considered "First world". It's a fairly modern country with access to technology, infrastructure, medicine, etc. most of the world doesn't even have that.
It's pretty on par for European and American living standards outside of the ABHORRENT human rights situation there.
Russia lost 27 million in WW2, i imagine it took take many generations to recover from that. Certainly doesn't help to have a shitty government.
