What do you mean "repressed"? Soviet states industrialized because of the USSR and its heavy focus on rapid industrialization.
The current extraction of raw materials from post-Soviet states is because of the forced privatization and de-industrialization under capitalism. Which included Russia until very recently; they've started nationalizing some of these industries again, though now under capitalist rule and primarily for their benefit.
