this is not surprising, at least for the poorest folks in the old USSR area. there are low real estate values (maybe even free land, de facto if not de jure). there is game to hunt and plants to harvest, if you don't mind a few mutants in the bunch. it may be possible to garner a subsistence living outside of capitalist social relations there.
