Dziekuje, America!
I believe post Soviet Countries do not have the same regulations or safety standards in regards to biolabs as say the US. They still fall under soviet laws and are not a part of the bio treaty. Plus I do think targeting Russian genetics are one of their main objectives.
Incorrect. All of these countries have their own constitutions and newly formed state laws post Soviet collapse. Did some countries keep certain laws in place? Sure, perhaps in some specifc examples but they all formed their own new governments the moment they gained autonomy.
Building & utility infrastructure... Now there's something many of them kept! Government, no.
