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 уравнение там с тысячами неизвестных, что это авиационная промышленность, судостроение, космические, всякие другие отрасли, sudden you discover
11:33 am
very strange thing that for example russian dependence on oil 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. авиация так не нужна, а гражданская авиация и вообще не нужна, потому что мы купим буинги, so we lost whole branches of industry and we lost whole of 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, that's of that's it's all, it has nothing to do with gaida, all this all this destruction to
11:35 am
страна потеряла 11 млн человек, 11 млн человек - это экстраординная смертность, это не во время войны, понимаете, это of приблизительно столько же, там 12. 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 сопоставимый behind most of of the western world and many ways, the gapged, which was tremendous and that is the most serious and most dangerous heritage of the 199. ну знаете, при неолиберальной схеме россия превращалась сразу в сырьевой придаток запада, в страну третьего мира только очень большую, собственно так случилось, мы сейчас до перестройки советский союз был одной из
11:36 am
двух сверхдержав. years when mikel gorbatchov began his glasnost or openness program with the west, meanwhile the united states under president ronald reagan was preparing for the collapse of the soviet union to help or to benefit from the soviet regime's transformation into a capitalist economy, the united states sent advisors to aid the yelson government. priехалины, которые сказали, единственная правильная экономическая доктрина, на веки вечные. это неолиберализм. гайдар не стал даже проверять, вникать, он этим не занимался, он занимался так называемой политном социализма, он не специалист по капитализму совсем. он просто повторял: ну они же знают, они же советники, зачем ты их сюда прислали? i guess they, i
11:37 am
wouldn't neither overestimate. underestimate their the influence, but they were very of helpful and and how soch technically, there was technical things, macroeconomics and foreign trade regime and social issue, social policy, trade policy and labor economics, lot things which we just were not aware of and it was very helpful, do you think we had by the way, i'm sorry to interrupt, we had the first first class advisors with very strong group behind us, онne ne если мы возьмём там, не знаю, вот того же чубайса, то уже много позже, то тот же путин, значит, говорил, ну вот у чубайса были советники, вообще штатные сотрудники цру сша, но он же не видоват, говорил путин, он же не знал, что они сотрудники цru. advisers, his advisor was the
11:38 am
now deputy head of the imf. do you find it strange that you have these? russian economists being advised by americans. oh, it 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 advisors 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 imf 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
11:39 am
money men benefited to the buying of shares in the new companies. it was not just money which was safoned out of the country, but it was knowledge, it was technology. uh, 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 specialists, technicians, scientists and so on, all these people had to move to the west, now you know in the united states there are so there are so-called russian laboratories in many universities, they're all picked by rus 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 guidaida reforms within such a dire state, the country needed cash. the imf and world
11:40 am
bank were the only parties in a position to help. the advise of the american advisors was supported by the loans from the imf, so for yiilton to make choices. was a difficult choice between the real plan and the loans, and he made his choice, because he was afraid 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 zuganov. this would be a disaster for the oligarchs, so they got together and made sure one of their own, and i toldly shubais 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 disgruntled unpaid workers. a relentless
11:41 am
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 heart attack during the campaign. this was kept secret from voters. например, в северной оссетии и в дагестане, у нас на первом туре в во втором туре 85-87% за ельца, ну так не бывает, это это большая тайна, да, но тот факт, что это была махинация на выборах, это несомненно. then presidentev reportedly said, there is hardly any doubt who won that.
11:42 am
11:43 am
его срока, первый срок, год, семья ещё боялась, боялась очень меня, боялась, президента, боялась, когда году... служба безопасности упразнена, разогнана, то семейка полностью взяла всю власть в свои руки, а ельцин был уже никакой. he has stated that he personally caught some of shubaas's team effectively stealing money from state coughers, trying to take money out of the kramlin in a suitcase. it's yelson to blame for the rise of the oligarchs.
11:45 am
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. 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 in violent crime, including homicides, это был стихийный процесс, в котором было мало мало интеллектуалов, то есть это просто ситуация, которая возникла от ээ стихина она была неуправляе, бандитская ситуация была неуправляемой, и так сказать, просто люди, которые туда попадали, они просто рвали куски на части, пользуясь временем, вот было такое время,
11:46 am
профессионалов 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, от недоумения, the period also helped the internationalization of the russian mafia with reported operations in over 50 countries, and with over 300, 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,
11:47 am
связанные 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. он он и был и есть, потом 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 чето время стал один из этих так называемых бандитов, я их называю так называем, потому что ну... 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
11:48 am
jealousy enviness yeah and minus yeah в моём понимании не всери, то есть я понимаю человек, который вставал, пахал, ездил в китае, зарабатывал, поднимался, вкладывал деньги, что-то тел, реально производил, как мой знакомый, который занимается уже 10 лет сельским хозяйством, кувыркается в этом свином говне, пытается что-то сделать, но что-то пытается, а когда ты там оторвал кусочек уралмаш, 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 oligarks, the bureaucracy, some of the intellectual lead, for them it was a tremendous opportunity which they did
11:49 am
use, which they did benefit from, for the majority of the country, it was a disaster. could you have done in a better way, in a more? 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 terrible collapse in living standards, at least some them like slovenia did, for example, the czech republic did, they really managed to find ways were not so destructive in 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
11:50 am
of wealth, a wealth that on the whole the russian people missed out on. is there anything? it's impossible, manything could be done better, but frankly, but frankly i don't know what could have been done better, i don't know how things could go much worse, there is a standard excuse which all politicians 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 would have been better. uh, there is no proof, no evidence you can give. back at the boris yeltson museum, a campaign is now underway to
11:51 am
reinvent russian history, attempt to convince new generation, the yelson was one of the great russian leaders. who are these people here? uh, they are donors, uh, they made the different donations, there are more than 60 have named. 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 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
11:52 am
would say they hate yelson, he's very very unpopular, you said he's a great man, i think, why do you think the disparit 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 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 pass, and yelson is a good example in that sense, this is anatoly kirilov, one the men responsible for raising the funds for museum, he took us a drive around yakenteringberg, yelson's home city. ну потому что он сумел мирным путём, не путём насилия, вот это возглавить, уловить,
11:53 am
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. как бы там, ну был непредсказуемый, человек непредсказуемый, то есть, то есть он с развитие страны видел как-то по-своему, ну плюс ко всему, скажем так, люди, которого
11:54 am
окружали. still haven't learned any lesson, absolutely, absolutely, this is one of the problem of today's russia, the people don't want to understand that they simply created. я ухожу, я сделал всё, что мог, мне смену приходит новое поколение, поколение тех, кто... enter russia's second and current president vladimir putin, formerly a kgb
11:55 am
agent, he entered politics rising quickly in yelson'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 yeltson, seen as a strong and sober leader who in part took on the power of the hated. putin is seem 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
11:56 am
and historically high oil. 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 to plan great economic changes in the future, a warning that reforms done badly can have disastrous consequences. i'm from italy, ایران برای in iran.
11:57 am
the us said it was going to reconstruct afghanistan and restore security to the country, but after two decades, wherever you look in the country, you only see death and destruction. many us officials have taken the lid off the wide-spread corruption under the guise of reconstruction projects, follow the
