How to use regress in a sentence?
Nothing exists forever in one shape or another. You say existence – you say transformation, evolution and regress.
It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.

But I do think it's fair to expect them to not regress significantly.
They want good infrastructure, good union jobs, and they understand that the climate crisis is happening now, young folks want to progress, they don't want to regress.
I don't think it's fair to expect countries to have perfect transitions overnight, or maybe even in 24 years (since Soviet disintegration in the region, in 1991). But I do think it's fair to expect them to not regress significantly.
