You can see the details if you click on the country name. Most of it is written off to internal problems like crime rates, terrorist acts, life expectancy and the 'un-democratization'.

Very accurate reflection. A lot of people don't really see how bad it is in Russia because of the recent economic uplift. Economic uplift isn't everything.
Putin's temper tantrum.
I was standing at a bus stop talking to this old man the other night. He was a Russian Jew who had emigrated to the United States in the late 1980's. He said he left Russia because although his internal passport said Russian, his nose said Jew and he was always getting beaten up. Still, he hated Gorbachev for making Russia weak, thought Yeltsin was a drunken pig, a loved Putin for trying to make Russia strong again.
