для авиационной индустрии, э, 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 уравнение там с тысячами неизвестных, что это авиационная промышленность, судостроение, космические, всякие другие отрасли. for example, russian depends on oil actually, not decreased because of the reforms.
3:03 am
теперь не с кем, поэтому военная авиация так не нужна, а гражданская авиация и вообще не of нужна, потому что мы купим боинги и рвасы. whole branches of industry and we lost whole branches of science, whole sectors of of science and scholarship, and that is something which is much harder to fix, and the destruction of russian industry, it has in nothing to do with that, all this all this destruction took place in the end of the soviet soviet soviet time, so basically all the rest is just pure to tell that destroyed something is completely wrong, it's just zero had nothing to do with any... экономистов

россия, российская федерация из числа общих потерь советского союза во время второй мировой войны, но там была война с фашистами, а здесь никакой войны не было, а потери сопоставимой. now far behind most of of the western world and many ways, the gap emerged, which was tremendous and that is the most serious and most dangerous heritage of the 1990s, ну знаете, при неолиберальной схеме россия превращалась сразу в сырьевой придаток запада, в страну мира только очень большую, собственно случилось. мы сейчас до перестройки советский союз был одной из двух сверхдержав: the cold war had been running for over 40 years when michael gorbatchov began his glasnost or openness program with
3:06 am
west. meanwhile the united states under president ronald reagan was preparing for the collapse of the soviet union to help to benefit from the soviet regime's trans единственная правильная экономическая доктрина на веки вечные - это неолиберализм. гайдар не стал даже проверять, вникать, он не занимался, он занимал так называемой полиценом социализма, он не специалист по капитализму совсем, он просто повторял, ну они же знают, они же советники, зачем ты их сюда прислали? advisers from the west, guess the i wouldn't neither overestimate nor overestimate, no underestimate their the influence, but they were very helpful, and how so technically, there was technical
3:07 am
things, macroeconomics and foreign trade regime and social issual, social policy, trade policy and labor, сша, но он же не видоват - we spoke to peter raven yesterday, he told us uh that there were american advisors, his advisor was the now deputy haad of the imf, you don't find it strange that you have these russian economists being advised by americans, oh it
3:08 am
was not strange, it 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 mmf and so on, the quantity of resources which moved from russia, not just russia, from the rest 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 money which was saiphone out of the country, but it was knowledge, it was technology, these were physical resources, including metal, oil so on, all was that was
3:09 am
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, now you know in the united states there so there are so-called russian laboratories in many universities, they're all picked by russian specialists who immigrated in the 90s, the imf and world bank helped force yelson's hand through the threat of loans. the soviet economy, backed by the disaster of the initial guide our reforms within such a dire state, the country needed cash. the imf and bank were the only parties a position to help, the advice 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
3:10 am
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, anatoliais was set to run yasen'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 common party couldn't compete financially. on top of this, yeltson's health was poor, even suffering heart attack during the camp. оссетии и в

3:12 am
in his book, he detailed how yelt little respect for democracy, and at one point wanted to cancel the election all together, and even more pressing mat was health. елтсонson в 1 февраля девяностого года, когда ему исполнили 65 лет, закончил свою жизнь как президент. 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 за второй срок. когда была первая половина его срока, срок дод. семья ещё боялась, боялась очень меня, боялась президента,
3:13 am
3:14 am
moscow, we met eugini ivanov, he used to work a military equipment factory, but after pariska, he set up his own construction business. возникло колосальное количество группных, я не говорю о высокоуровных так сказать профессионалах, а говорю, что так сказать, просто мелкий. уголовники, люди, которые так сказать, просто были с этим связаны, понятно, они создали небольшие группировки, часто вооружённые, вот которые как бы являли, делали крышу, как тогда возник, 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. echelons of the russian elite in the 1990s, so it did through the rest of society,
3:15 am
as livingstein had dropped, law and order broke out, crime rose 27%, theft and burly was common, and there was a rapid growth in violent crime, including homicides. это был стихийный процесс, в котором было мало, мало интеллектуалов, это просто ситуация, которая возникла от стихина она была. неуправляем бандитская ситуация была неуправляемой и так сказать просто люди, которые туда попадали, они просто рвали куски на части, пользуясь временем, вот было такое время -
3:16 am
те люди с которыми я связался волею судьбы, они, вдруг они решили, что бизнес уже большой они могут его забрать, значит они его могут забрать и благодаря тому же человеку, с которым я связался, они так сказать, 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, связанный так сказать с семьёй и так далее, то у вас такие же будут проблемы, потому что у меня было достаточно денег, чтобы тоже так сказать, tells us that the man, the criminal gang put the head the company, instead of him was his own friend and business partner, он он и был и есть потом я ему после этого всего я ещё помогал ему жить, после того как его выбросили, вот он непредателем оказался
3:17 am
гораздо хуже, вот и он стал владельцем компании, а потом че время стал один из этих так называемых бандитов, я их называю так называем, потому что ну это не бандиты, это просто та пена, тот мусор, который в то время. and after 20 years he has a 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 do this like the oligarchs out of? в моём понимании всё упири, то есть я понимаю человек, который вставал, пахал, ездил в китае, зарабатывал, поднимался, вкладывал деньги, что-то дел, реально производил, как мой знакомый, который занимается уже 10 лет сельским хозяйством, кувыркается в этом свином говне, пытается
3:18 am
что-то сделать, но что-то пытается, а когда ты там оторвал кусочек урал маш 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 elite for them, it was a tremendous opportunity which they did use, which the... did benefit from, for the majority of the country, it was a disaster. could you have done it in a better way, in a more fair way? everything, everything could be done in a better way, basically, but again, russia is not a czech republic, that'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, by the same time, most of them managed to avoid that kind of
3:19 am
terrible collapse in living standards, at least some of them like slovenia did, for example, tzech republic did, they really managed to find ways which should not so destructive in social terms. the czech republic, formerly 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 vouchers allowed checks to buy shares in the new companies, leading to fair distribution of wealth, a wealth that on the whole. people missed out on is there anything that that you did wrong, it's impossible, many thing could be done better, but frankly, but frankly i don't know what could have been done better, i do know how
3:20 am
things could go much worse, there is a standard excuse which all politician. kind of like to use, which is if we didn't do that, it would come been even worse, so but first of all, it's a hypothetical statement, it could have been even worse, but maybe it could 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 leaders. who are these people here? uh, they are donors, uh, they made a different donations. so there are more than 60f names and famous russian companies which were involved in building uh and creating this presidential center and the museum
3:21 am
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 the population from the rest of the people. because yes, the elite now, it is not shy to say openly that they benefited from yelson, lot of the people we spoken to in russia, they they they don't like yelson, someone say they hate yelson, he's very, very unpopular, you said he's a great man, i think, why do you think the disparity is between you think he's a great man and majority of russians think he 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 as a great man, also part of attempt of the new liberal segments of the elite to encourage themselves to repeat what was already done,
3:22 am
so to do it for the second time, so then you need some kind of example, you have to follow somebody's pass and yelson is a good example in that sense, this is anatoly kirilov, one the men responsible for raising the funds for the museum, he took us a drive around yakkenburg, 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,
3:23 am
потому что человек он был не просто как бы там, ну был непредсказуемый, был реально человек непредсказуемый, то есть, то есть он развитие страны видел как-то по-своему, ну плюс ко всему, скажем так, люди, которые окружали. absolutely, absolutely right, this is one of the problem of today's russia, the people don't want to understand that they simply. я ухожу,
3:24 am
я сделал всё, что мог, мне смену приходит новое поколение, поколение тех, and current president vladimir putin, formerly kgb agent, he entered politics rising quickly in 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 excesses of the 90s, and that was seen by the people as a very necessary and important thing to do. six months into his
3:25 am
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 year preceded him and in his differences to jetson. seen as a strong and sober leader who in part took on the power of the hated oligarchs in a c to have given russians pride again in their country after the embarrassment of the yelton years. he has also been helped by a stabilizing economic and historical 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 to countries who plan great economic changes in the future. a warning that reforms done badly can have disastrous consequences.
