Communism has kept those countries poor, and poverty generally inures you to degeneracy.
Orthodoxy is also much more resistant to moral corruption than Roman Catholicism and especially Protestantism. Look at what the worst countries in Europe are. Sweden, Germany and England. Thank a lot, Martin Luther.
Orthodoxy isnt more resistant than Catholicism, its just decentralized. Some branches of Orthodoxy have been completely subverted by the state, while others are still independent. Catholicism is centralized, but there is only so much subversives can accomplish without pissing of the wrong people.
