Sounds like Lithuania 15 years ago. Don't worry man, we thought our country was going to shit as well after the Soviet Union's collapse. All the private businesses that had emerged were one way or another controled by criminal groups (not gangs). They would extort, threaten, and even kill people if needed. But by the time the 21st century began most of them were caught. One of the leaders got sentenced to death, by firing squad. Anyways after most of the gangs and criminals were cleared out, some became legal business men who pay taxes, things started to look up. I guess it's similar in your country. And a similar future awaits you as well. You are in Europe you know. Hopefully you'll get in the European Union one day, that's what helped us the most even though it made the crisis affect us more in the future.
So don't worry. When I compared Lithuania now and in the 90s, we're in heaven.
