очевидно было, в общем-то назрело, вот, но совсем не в этом направлении, как я понимаю, вот эти вот - гадаровские реформы, э, они были - осуществлены таким образом, что решать уравнение там с тысячами неизвестных, что это авиационная промышленность, судостроение, космические, всякие другие отрасли, all of sudden you discover 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.

считалось, что воевать нам теперь не с кем, поэтому военная авиация так не нужна, а гражданская авиация и вообще не нужна, потому of что мы купим буинге иерва, so we lost whole branches of industry and we lost whole branches of science, whole sectors of of science and scholarship, and that is of something which is much harder to fix. the destruction of russian industry, all it has nothing to do with all this, all this destruction took place in the end of the soviet soviet time, so basically all the rest is just pure to tell that destroyed something is completely wrong, экономистов, действительно образование вредных людей, хозяйства. за какие продавались огромные

предприятия промышленность развалено, кому продавалась, продавалось только по, значит, куда семейку указывала, куда, enormous industrial capacity was lost, which is very of bad, but still the most serious and danger thing was that we lost lot of people of skills of knowledge, надо иметь в виду, что у нас в результате шоковых реформ и так страна потеряла 11 млн человек, 11 млн человек - это экстраординная смертность, это не во время войны, понимаете, это приблизительно столько же, по-моему, там 12, что ли с половиной, да, 12,5 миллионов потеряла одна россия, российская федерация из числа общих потерь советского союза во время второй мировой войны, но там была война с фашистами, а здесь никакой.

схеме россия превращалась сразу в сорьевой придаток запада, в 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 michael gorbatchov began his glasnost or openness program with the west. meanwhile the united states under president ronald reagan was preparing for the collapse 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 yeltson government. priехали. 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 политкономии социализма, он не специалист по капитализму совсем, он просто повторял, но они же знают, они же советники, зачем ты их сюда прислали? overestimate no underestimate their uh the influence, but this they were very helpful and and how so technically there was technical things macroeconomics and foreign trade regime and social issue social policy, trade policy and labor economics, lot

of 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 он был такой самом деле не один, 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 - говорил путин, он же не знал, что они сотрудники цру. yesterday, advisers, 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 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, they are wrong, but they'... 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 of the soviet union to the west, it was enormous. billions of assets were transferred out of the country, and western banks and man benefited to the buying of shares in the new companies. it was not just my... which was sifoned 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 specialists, technician, scientists and so, all these people had to move to west, now you know in the united states there, there are so-called russian laboratory. and many universities they're all picked by russian specialist 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 guide our reforms within such 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 the loans from the imf, so for... 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 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... 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 can compete financially. on top of this, yelson's health was poor, even suffering heart attack during the campaign. this was kept secret for voters. удивительные вещи, например, в северной оссетии и в дагестане у нас на первом туре 80.

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 его срока, семья ещё боялась, боялась очень меня, боялась президента, когда 90. полностью

взяла всю власть в свои руки, а ельцин был уже никакой. he has stated that he personally caught some of shubas's team effectively stealing money from state coughers, trying to take money out of the cramlin in a suitcase. it's yelson to blame for the rise of the oligarchs. but increasingly he became embarrassing not just to himself, but to the entire russian nation.

приходили, вот мы там это всё было все вот крышу, как тогда возникала крыша, то есть они то, что люди занимались бизнесом, все были между ними поделены, я понял, что с ними нельзя связываться и не хотел, но человек, с которым я начал строительный бизнес, у него были долги, just as corruption 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%. то есть это просто

ситуация, которая возникла от стихийно она была неуправляе, бандитская ситуация была неуправляемой, и просто люди, которые туда попадали, они просто рвали куски пользуясь временем, вот было такое время. 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 это самое, от не... те люди с которыми я связался, они, вдруг, они решили, что бизнес уже большой, они могут его забрать, значит, они его могут забрать и, благодаря тому

человеку, с которым 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, 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, tells us that the man, the criminal gang put the head the company instead of him with his own friend. он он и был и есть потом я ему после того всего я ещё по-моему жить после того как его выбросили вот он не предателем оказался гораздо хуже вот и он стал владельцем компании а потом-то 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 возникло

время and after 20 years. 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 nice, so you think that lot of people who dislike the oligarchs, it's out of jealousy, enviness, yeah, envi, envi, в моём понимании, то есть я понимаю, человек, который вставал, пахал, ездил в китай, зарабатывал, поднимался, вкладывал деньги, что-то. реально производил, как мой знакомый, который занимается уже 10 лет сельским хозяйством, куверкается вот он говне, пытается что-то сделать, но что-то пытается, а когда ты там оторвал кусочек урал маш перепродал его выгодно на эти деньги там зажигаешь,

missed opportunity, 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 a tremendous opportunity which they did use, which they 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 difference. 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 which were not so destructive in social terms. the ch republic, formerly part

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. is there anything that that that you did wrong? it's impossible, manything could be done better, but frankly. but frankly, i don't know what could have been done better, do 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 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, there are more than 60. 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 uh 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 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, somebody say they hate yelson, he's very very unpocular. 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 russians think he is? 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 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 aroundburg, so so why is such a great man? вот это возглавить, уловить, ээ 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, in the museum, there seems to be no criticism of yelson, you you seem to be okay with the eyes of the oligarks, you okay, вы говорите, что всё не должно быть чёрный.

куда бы всё завернулось, 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... it seems to me that the people in power in russia and in europe still haven't learned any lessons. absolutely, absolutely right, this is one of the problem of today's russia, the people don't want to understand that they simply created post soviet criminal system in a uh direct and very wide sense, that's what they did. я ухожу, я сделал всё, что мог, мне смену

приходит новое поколение, поколения тех, кто может сделать больше и лучше. enter russia's second and current president vladimir. 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 oligarchs. 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 stabilize. 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 to countries who plan great economic changes in the future, a warning that reforms done badly can have disastrous consequences.

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 water. spread corruption under the guise of reconstruction projects. follow the details in this documentary.
