俄罗斯、乌克兰和白俄罗斯有着共同的苏联历史、相似的文化和宗教,三国是很好的可比国,而在新冠肺炎危机中,它们奉行的政策截然不同。白俄罗斯否认了大流行,也没有采取任何措施。俄罗斯在很长一段时间内淡化了疫情,然后采取了半心半意、前后不一的措施。乌克兰担心该病毒,并在集中政策下进行了早期和严格的隔离。尽管直到最近检测还很稀少,死亡人数仍不确定,但白俄罗斯和俄罗斯似乎在健康方面表现不佳,而乌克兰到目前为止表现要好得多。现在判断经济结果还为时过早。
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are good comparators sharing a common Soviet past, similar cultures and religions, while in the COVID-19 crisis they have pursued quite different policies. Belarus has denied the pandemic and undertaken no measures. Russia played down the epidemic for a long time and then undertook half-hearted and incoherent measures. Ukraine feared the virus and carried out an early and strict quarantine in a centralized policy. While testing has been sparse until recently and death tolls remain uncertain, Belarus and Russia appear to have done poorly in terms of health, while Ukraine has so far done much better. It is too early to judge the economic outcomes.
