для авиационной индустріи, какое-то реформирование очевидно было, в общем-то назрело, вот, но совсем не в этом направлении, как я понимаю, вот эти вот гайдаровские реформы, они были осуществлены таким образом, что решать уравнения там с тысячами неизвестных, что это авиационная промышленность, судостроение, космические, всякие другие отрасли. dependence on oil of

actually increased, not decreased because of the reforms, russian technological backwardness actually also increased, not decreased, so the gap between russia and west in terms of productive technologies, in terms of most advanced high-tech products actually increased rather than decreased. считалось, что воевать нам теперь не с кем, поэтому of военная авиация так не нужна, а гражданская. science, whole sectors of of science and scholarship, and that is something which is much harder to fix, and the destruction of russian industry, that's that's all, it has nothing to do with that, all this, all this destruction took place in the end of the soviet soviet time, so basically all the rest is just to tell destroy something.

экономистов действительно образование вредных людей так хозяйство вели приватизация была грабительская за копейки продавались огромные предприятия промышленность была развалена кому продавался продавалась только по значит куда семейку указывает of

войны, понимаете, это приблизительно столько же, по-моему, там 12, что ли с половиной, да, 12,5 млн потеряла одна россия, российская федерация, из числа общих потерь советского союза во время второй мировой войны, но там сразу в сырьевой придаток запада, страну третьего мира только очень большую, собственно так случилось, мы сейчас до перестройки, советский союз был одной из двух сверхдержав. the cold war had been running

for over 40 years when began his glasnost or openness program with the west. meanwile the united states under president ronald reagan was preparing for the collapse of the the influence, but they very helpful, how so

technically, technical things, macroeconomics and foreign trade regime and social issue, social policy, trade policy and... если мы возьмём там не знаю, вот того же чубайса, то уже много позже, тот же путин, значит, говорил, ну вот у чубайса были советники, вообще штатные сотрудники цру сша, но он же не видоват, advisers, his advisor was the now deputy head of the imf, you find it strange that you have these russian economists being advised by americans, oh, it

was not strange, the strange was that russia, didn't want to have its own plan, everybody can can give the advice, but you must have... your own plan and to debate it and try to convince those advisers that you are right and they are wrong, but they didn't do that. economic policies of yelson period were extremely beneficial for the west, for the transnational corporations for the mf, the quantity of resources which moved from russia, not just russia, from the rest of the soviet union to the west, it was enormous billions of... assets were transferred out of the country and western banks and money men benefited to the buying of shares in the new companies. it was not just some money which was safonded out of the country, but it was knowledge, it was technology, these were physical resources, including metal, oil and

so on, all was that was sold at very low prices and more these were people because russia started massively losing jobs for specialist. technicians, scientists and so on, all these people had to move to the west, and now you know in the united states there so there are so-called russian laboratorys in many universities, they all uh picked by russian specialistts who immigrated in the 90s. the imf and world bank helped force yeltson's hand through the threat of loans. the soviet economy, backed by the disaster of the initial guida reforms with in such a dire state, the country needed cash. the imf and world. bank were the only parties in a position to help. the advise of the american advisers was supported by the loans from the imf. so for yilton to make choices was a difficult choice between the real plan and the loans and he made his choice because he

was afraid of the consequences. 1996, yelson is up for re-election. the economy is still contracting and many workers haven't been paid in months. his popularity is at an old time low. at the beginning of the campaign he is pulling in fifth place on only 8%. leading and expecting to win is the communist gennardi zyuganov. this would be a disaster for the oligarchs, so they got together and made sure one of their own, anatolos shubaias was set to run yeltson's campaign. the oligarchs raised huge sums of money, even more was made available by the west in order to pay off the scruntled unpaid workers. a relentless propaganda campaign against zuganov was waged. in turn, the communist party couldn't compete financially. on top of this, yelson's health was poor, even suffering h вещи, например, в северной

оссетии в дагестане у нас на первом туре 85, там 87% населения проголосовало за зюганова, а во втором туре 85-87% населения за ельцин, ну так не бывает, это это это большая тайна, да, но тот факт, что это была. bodyguard and confidant, few had a clear

window into the workings of power in kozikov. in his book, he detailed how yeltson had a little respect for democracy and at one point wanted to cancel the election all together, but even more pressing matter for kozakov was jelsson's health. helson for 1 февраля 96 года, когда ему исполнилось 65 лет, закончил свою жизнь как президент на второй день 2 февраля я приехал за ним, чтобы его на работу, я его не узнал, человек постарел на 20 лет, он запрограммировал себя до 65, поэтому не надо, нельзя было ему избираться. когда была первая половина его срока, семья ещё боялась, боялась очень меня, боялась

службы президента, но когда в 9 году, служба безопасности была упражнена, разогнана, то семейка полностью взяла всю власть в свои руки, а ельцин был уже никакой. he has stated that he personally caught some of effectively stealing money from state coffers trying to take money out of the kremlin in a suitcase. кто всё. компания. as serious consumer of alcohol, but increasingly he became embarrassing, not just to himself. but to the entire russian nation. in his apartment on

the outskirts of moscow, we met eugenie ivanov. he used to work in a military equipment factory, but after parastroika he set up his own construction business. колоссальное количество групп, разных, я не говорю o высокоурных, так сказать профессиналах. а говорю, что так сказать, просто мелкие уголовники, люди, которые так сказать, просто были с этим связаны, понятно, они создали небольшие пировки, часто вооружённые вот, которые как бы являли, делали крышу, как тогда возникала крыша, то есть они приходили, вот мы там это, всё было все вот как бы то, что люди занимались бизнесом, все были между ними поделены, я понимал, что с ними нельзя связываться и не хотел, но человек, с которым я начал строительный бизнес, у него были долги. and criminality ran through the highest echelons the russian elite in the 1990s, so it did

through the rest of society, as living standards dropped, law and order broke out, crime rose 27%, theft and burglary was common, and there was a rapid growth crime, это был стихийный процесс, в котором было мало, мало интеллектуалов, то есть это просто ситуация, которая возникла от стихии. и она была неуправляе, бандитская ситуация была неуправляемой, и так сказать, просто люди, которые туда попадают, они просто рвали куски начасти, пользуясь временем, вот было такое в профессионов там как правило не было, то есть профессионалы были на неком высоком уровне, где так сказать, был большой бизнес, а здесь вот это была суета, стреляли от от это самое, helped the internationalization, the russian mafia with reported operations in over 50 countries, and with over 300, те люди, с

которыми я связался, они, вдруг они решили, что бизнес уже большой они могут его забрать, значит, они его могут забрать и ээ, благодаря тому человеку, с которым я связался, они это как бы передвинули ему, мне была создана угроза, так сказать, жизни семьи, и я сказал, ребят, я всё отдаю ухожу, но если у меня будут проблемы, связанные, так сказать, ээ с я ему после этого всего я ещё помогал ему жить после того как его выбросили вот он не предателем оказался гораздо хуже вот и он

стал владельцем компании а потом через какое-то время стал один из этих так называем пена, тот мусор, который возник в то время, it's very difficult feeling, you have neighbor who is like you and he has the same salary and after 20 years he is billionaire and you are not, that's very very serious feeling anti, you don't like the guy, because you are not prepared to blame yourself, you blame him that he he made money, that's very natural, so you think that lot of people who dislike the oligarchs, it's out of jealousy, enviness, yeah, and в моём понимании не все упири, то есть я понимаю человек, который вставал, пахал, ездил в китае, зарабатывал, поднимался, вкладывал деньги, что-то делал, реально производил, как мой знакомый, который занимается уже 10 лет сельским хозяйством, кувырается вот он го, пытается что-то сделать, но что-то пытается, а когда ты там оторвал кусочек ураш, перепродал его выгодно

на эти деньги там зажигаешь, was the whole period of the 90's a massive missed opportunity for for russia economically? you can never say it was a missed opportunity because somebody used this opportunity incredibly, the oligarchs, the bureaucracy, some of the intellectual lead, for them it was mandous opportunity which they did use, which they did benefit from, for the majority the country, it was a disaster. could you have done in a better way? more fairway, everything, everything could be done in a way, basically, but again, russia is not a czech republic, it's a very different country mentally, if you are looking at some eastern european countries, of course there were different scenarios in different countries, all of them more or less moved towards capitalism, but at the same time most of them managed to avoid that kind of terrible collapse in living standards, at least some them like slovenia did, for example, the

czech republic did, they really managed to find ways which were not uh so destructive in social terms. the czech republic, formally part of the soviet block, unlike the russian government, successfully managed to include its own citizens in the privatization process by the distribution of vouuchers. these vouuchers allowed checks to buy shares in the new companies leading to fair distribution of wealth, a wealth that on the whole the russian people missed out on. you did anything that that that you did? it's impossible, manything could be done better, but frankly, but frankly i don't know what could have been done better, i do know how things could go much worse, there is a standard excuse which politicians kind of

like to use, which is if we didn't do that, it's have been even worse, so but first of all, it's a hypothetical statement, it could have been even worse, but maybe it would have been better, there is no proof, no evidence you can give, back at the boris yeltson museum, a campaign is now underway to reinvent russian history, attempt to convince new generation that yelson was one of the great russian. who are these people here uh, they are donors, uh, they made different donations, there are more than 60 of names and famous russian companies. which were involved in building uh and creating this presidential center and the museum especially and we are grateful for all of them. if

you're taking if you're taking the museum of yelson and this whole um propaganda around it, it only shows how much today's russian elite is disconnected from the rest of the population from the rest of the people, because yes the elite now it is not sh. to say openly that they benefited from yelson, lot of the people we spoken to in russia, they they great man, i think, why do you think the disparity is between you think he's a great man and majority simply isn't? well, because i have first of all, between you think he's a great man and majority isn't, well because i have first of all, i have economic education, maybe because of that i see figures and maybe i have more objective than these people, presenting yelson as a great man is also part of attempt of the... new liberal segments of the elite to encourage themselves to repeat what was already done, so to do it for the second time, so then you need some kind of example,

you have to follow somebody's path, and yelson is a good example in that sense, this is anatoly kirilov, one of the men responsible for raising the funds for the museum, he took us a drive around yekintinburg, yelson's home city, so so why is yelson such a good? ну потому что он сумел мирным путём, не путём насилия, вот это возглавить уловить ситуацию, которая сложилась в стране, что сама страна подошла к переменам, и нужен был лидер, вот он стал тем лидером, который вот услышал, эту необходимость перемен.

я ухожу, я сделал всё, что мог, мне смену приходит новая поколение, поколение тех, кто может... enter russia's second and current president vladimir putin, formerly a kgb agent, he entered politics rising quickly in yeltson's administration, in december 1999, as yelson stood down, he appointed putin as acting president, well putin on the one hand is the continuation of yelson, on the other hand, definitely putin's policy was to try to correct the excesses of the 90s, and that was seen by the people as a very necessary and important thing to do. six months into his

leadership, putin won his first election and currently remains deeply popular with the majority of russian people. this can largely be explained in relation to the years that preceded him and in his differences to jeltsen, seen as a strong and sober leader who in part took on the power of the hated. oligarks, putin has seen to have given russians pride again in their country after the embarrassment of the yeltson years. he has also been helped by a stabilizing economy and historically high oil prices. the story of russia in the 1990s has often been overlooked by history, far less interesting than times of war or revolution, but it should not be forgotten, as it is not only the story of the creation of the modern russia, but also a warning. the countries to plan great economic changes in the future, a warning that reforms done badly can have disastrous consequences.
