Does anyone have any good literature/a nice summary on how and why all of the former Soviet states and Warsaw pact countries have basically fully reversed course and become reactionary hellholes? Was it lack of socialist education? Western influence before and after the collapse? Disillusioned population due to mismanagement (I'm thinking Romania here)?

Thanks a lot!

I asked pretty much the same question a couple of years ago, you'll probably find the answers satisfactory to what you're looking for.

Big ups to @AcidSmiley@hexbear.net for a very well thought out response cat-com
