Their situation relative to Western Europe has not become better 70 years after WWII.
I've been to EE and could see a significant difference in the living standards between there and here in Germany: people tend to be thinner, have worse skin, worse styles and their own supermarkets are shit.
It can't be ressources, because many EE countries are rich in ressources, like coal, metals and farming lands.
Not having colonized other continents? Well you don't have to be a great colonial power like Britain and France to become highly developed. Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finnland etc are good examples. Btw Russia has plundered Asia for centuries yet it's still poor today.
IQ? There have been lots of great Slavic scientists, intellectuals, authors, musicians...
I don't know the answer.
