Post-Soviet Eurasian countries continue to suffer under a system of exten- sive corruption as well as economic and social disparities inherited from the Soviet era. This article discusses how Eurasian countries can transform their dysfunctional structures by taking advantage of digital opportunities and inte- grate the region into the global economy as the world’s next information tech- nology (IT) hub.
