From 1991 to 1993, Russia faced internal challenges during his transition from the
Soviet Union. This era is known for being very politically chaotic, as everyone has their own ideas of how to rule the new Russia. Some want it to be just like the
Soviet Union, most wanted
democracy.
Russia is a country that has taken a path of failure after getting rid of
Communism. After the Soviet dissolution, the entire society was sunken into a deep state of celebration and "forgetting the past".
Boris Yeltsin, after forcing
Gorbachev to resign, would sink himself in alcohol all day. He became the most alcoholic leader. He was happy, after all, he had removed the
Communist Party! But he made a worse mistake than being alcoholic. He didn't expose the
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
Putin rose to power.
History
Between 1991 and 1993, Russia underwent a tumultuous period of transition following the collapse of the
Soviet Union. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991 marked the end of seven decades of
communist rule and the emergence of Russia as an independent state.
Gorbachev stepped down, and
Boris Yeltsin, who had been elected president of the
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
Soviet Union and the
United States, ushering in a new era in international relations.
Boris Yeltsin took a degree of action to purge
Soviet ideology by laying off former Soviet civil servants, pulling down statues of
Lenin and other communist leaders, and rebuilding
Orthodox Christian churches destroyed by the
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.
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
oligarchs who amassed wealth and influence through controversial privatization schemes.
Internally, Russia grappled with separatist movements and ethnic conflicts in regions such as
Chechnya, where tensions erupted into open warfare. But this story is from
Russia later in his life, past 1993. On an unrelated note,
US president
George H. W. Bush visited
Moscow in July of 1991 to participate in the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty II (START II) with
Boris Yeltsin. This treaty marked a significant milestone in nuclear arms control between the two countries.
Amidst these challenges, Russia also faced political turmoil and
constitutional crises. In 1993, President
Yeltsin dissolved the Russian
parliament after a standoff with lawmakers, leading to violent clashes between supporters and opponents of his administration.
Yeltsin then called for new elections and oversaw the adoption of a new constitution in a controversial referendum.
The fall of the
Soviet Union also resulted a lot of
Neo-Nazi groups who hate minorities rising, and these groups will beat up people in the streets because they look like a minority (this is a big problem because Russia has 300+ native minorities). These Neo-Nazi groups held rallies often, and many were eventually banned and jailed by
Vladimir Putin.
Despite the difficulties of the transition period, Russia made significant strides towards in attempting to establish
democratic institutions and fostering greater political pluralism. The adoption of a new constitution in 1993 laid the groundwork for a more decentralized system of government with a stronger emphasis on individual rights and freedoms.
The years of 1991-1993 were a time of profound change and uncertainty for Russia as he navigated the complexities of post-Soviet transition. The country faced immense challenges on multiple fronts, but also laid the foundation for its eventual emergence as a key player on the global stage.
