One reason you see so many former Soviet naval officers crewing merchant ships is that they didn't have too many options after the Soviet Union collapsed. The bulk of their fleet was laid up to rot and much like the U.S. cutbacks caused the best and brightest to leave first the former Soviet republics had a glut of professional, highly trained officers with no ships to command.
