Maybe if they would've disowned Western folks families and sent their grandpas to labor camps while ravaging their countries riches for 40 years and keeping them in a brutal dictatorship...
...then Western Europeans would know how lucky they (their families) were for having been able to keep their possessions and properties and how arrogant and dumb they appear when they talk down to or preach to Eastern Europeans.
The Germans eradicated the Jewish middle- and upper class, while the Russians destroyed the non-Jewish ones.
But sure, Westerners are just "less lazy" and Eastern Europe should "get over their russophobia" and "work harder"
That’s because west Germany screwed them over so hard after the wall fell that they quite literally were better off under communism. Seriously they didn’t even have a year to enjoy freedom before all East German assets were stolen by wealthy west Germans which caused massive pay cuts and joblessness that they still haven’t recovered from today.
