In post-soviet countries and especially Russia, there are virtually no businesses older than 30 years (communism means no business to speak of), and most of them are quite new still, since there were a few different epochs already and every one had its own mass extinction event at the end.
The upside is that almost everything is run by people who are not old, hence not stuck in the past. Also, gravitate towards hiring instead of famity ties, and towards horizontal growth instead of forever keeping a single store or eatery.
The downside being that most places/services simply suck due to incompetence and cynicism. Corners cut, rules frequently disobeyed, mediocrity wins, and worker frustration means a revolving door. This is exacerbated by a stingy consumer base with no sense of loyalty. No thanks.
I don’t know which post-Soviet reality you come from but the one I live in has a reputation for miraculous economic recovery. And even here most people aspire to leave and succeed elsewhere.
It is not the same scale but the same issue as in article happens here. There is huge meat-processing plant next town, build from nothing in those 30 years and owner had to sell it to some big corporation since his children didn't want to take over. And that is would be management job, not crazy overworking yourself for pennies, like those examples from japan.
