First even in back in the USSR it wasn't that much higher, it had stalled in the 1960-70s at 68 average.
Than there was a massive drop in the 90s because of the end of the USSR and its tough to say where they would be without those lost 2 decades. Still the data shows they're actualy improving quite a lot in the past 2 decades. From 63 to 68(males) in just the last 10 years.
The biggest problem was the COVID drop, that was pure incompetence and ideology, but otherwise its just material conditions making a difference over time.
This reïnforces my point that Russia is a neoliberal ultra-capitalist hole
