That's an unlikely explanation given that living conditions in the west are actually declining for majority of the people.
That doesn't really contradict my hypothesis at all. If anything that would be an additional data point to support the idea that it is difficult to improve things in a significant enough way that it leads to trust in the government.
Except it's not difficult at all to improve things, and most people understand that their lives are getting worse because the government that serves the interests of the oligarchs has no interest in improving things.
