Russia is a country that has taken a path of failure after getting rid of {{i|Commie}} [[Communism]]. After the Soviet dissolution, the entire society was sunken into a deep state of celebration and "forgetting the past". [[File:Yeltsin-icon.png]] [[Yeltsinism|Boris Yeltsin]], after forcing [[File:Gorbachev-icon.png]] [[Gorbachevism|Gorbachev]] to resign, would sink himself in alcohol all day.

He didn't expose the {{i|KGB}} [[Committee for State Security|KGB]], he didn't publicize the crimes of history, he didn't face the truth. What was the result? The virus of communism has never been cleansed, the immune system of society failed, and KGB ghosts like {{i|Putin}} [[Putinism|Putin]] rose to power.

Between 1991 and 1993, Russia underwent a tumultuous period of transition following the collapse of the [[File:USSR-icon.png]] [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]]. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991 marked the end of seven decades of [[File:Communism-icon.png]] [[Communism|communist]] rule and the emergence of Russia as an independent state. [[File:Gorbachev-icon.png]] [[Gorbachevism|Gorbachev]] stepped down, and [[File:Yeltsin-icon.png]] [[Yeltsinism|Boris Yeltsin]], who had been elected president of the [[File:RSFSR-icon.png]] [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] (RSFSR) in 1991, became the first president of the newly formed Russian Federation. The dissolution brought an end to the Cold War rivalry between the [[File:USSR-icon.png]] [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and the [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|United States]], ushering in a new era in international relations.

Boris Yeltsin took a degree of action to purge {{i|MarxLenin}} [[Marxism-Leninism|Soviet ideology]] by laying off former Soviet civil servants, pulling down statues of {{i|Lenin}} [[Leninism|Lenin]] and other communist leaders, and rebuilding {{i|Orthodoxy}} [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodox Christian]] churches destroyed by the {{i|CPSU}} [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|CPSU]], but these steps proved largely superficial in cleansing the country of a deeply rooted Party culture that had been instilled in people and institutions for nearly seven decades. Furthermore, the political turmoil and economic collapse that followed the end of the Soviet Union fueled nostalgia for the bygone era.

The early years of Russian independence were characterized by profound political, economic, and social upheaval. [[File:Yeltsin-icon.png]] [[Yeltsinism|Yeltsin]] embarked on a program of economic reforms known as "shock therapy" aimed at transitioning from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented system. However, the rapid pace of privatization and liberalization led to widespread economic instability, hyperinflation, and a sharp decline in living standards for many Russians. The transition also saw the emergence of powerful [[File:Oligarchy-icon.png]] [[Oligarchy|oligarchs]] who amassed wealth and influence through controversial privatization schemes.

Internally, Russia grappled with separatist movements and ethnic conflicts in regions such as [[File:Chechnya-icon.png]] [[Chechnya]], where tensions erupted into open warfare.
