Why did all but the textile mills in ivanova shut down after the soviet economic system collapsed?

The collapse of the Russian textile industry produced a great impact on the Ivanovo region and the unemployment and mortality rates were some of the highest in the country.

Explanation:

The mills employed about 70 percent of the local personnel and after the collapse of the Russian textile industry, about 10 textile mills had been closed and the unemployment grew on a large scale.
