THE POLITICAL COMPONENT OF RUSSIAN ECONOMIC CRISIS

Robert Barić ; Croatian Ministry of Defence, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Although it is not the primary reason for Russian economic collapse which occurred in August of 1998, the permanent crisis of Russian political system after 1991 had contributed to this breakdown. A major role in all this was played by the process of privatisation by which Russian natural and economic resources remained in the hands of the political/economic elite. The crisis of the political system in Russia has another consequence – bringing into question not only the attained degree of democratic development but also the future of democracy in Russia.
