What are Yeltsin's merits and demerits for Russia? October 28, 1992: Boris Yeltsin disbanded the Russian National Salvation Front Organizing Committee
The Russian National Salvation Front was established on October 24, and it announced that it would "fight within the scope of the current laws" and forced President Yeltsin and the current government to resign.
The Organizing Committee of the National Salvation Front was banned by Yeltsin, which means that another of his political enemies went completely bankrupt.
Yeltsin's main contribution to Russia was mainly to complete the reform of capitalism .
When Gorbachev came to power, all aspects of the Soviet Union were already very serious. Sasha has talked about this aspect of
many times, and only talks about it here.
In our opinion, the Soviet Union was one of the best powers in the world and should be very strong in all aspects.
However, do you remember that there was a profession in China called China-Russia Explosion in the 1990s?
Sasha met one in Moscow, which was my classmate’s uncle.
This uncle was in his forties and came to Russia to do business in the 1990s.
Everyone knows what business is he doing?
is the kind of street stall in Beijing. He originally set up stalls in Beijing, and the goods came from some cheap wholesale markets in the local and southern regions, buying low and selling high, making a difference.
Because there are too many people setting up street stalls, the goods gradually cannot be sold, and they can only choose to make money abroad.
The most profitable thing at that time was to bring goods to the Soviet countries that had just disintegrated, such as Russia, Belarus , and Ukraine.
This uncle only sells one thing, it is a leather jacket, and it is a heavy leather jacket that Chinese people don’t wear very much.
According to common sense, no one buys this kind of clothes in China. If you sell them to the Soviets who are the big brothers in the superpower, wouldn’t it be inexplicable that they were clamped by the door?
What surprised everyone was that this uncle's business was particularly good.
For the first time, he and his fellow countrymen took a few packs of goods to Moscow to sell. Unexpectedly, before the train arrived in Moscow, there were many local Russians on the station along the way asking them if they had the goods. They sell goods at the station, using only 15 to 20 minutes to sell goods. That's it, the scene is very lively, just like the supermarket is snatching free stuff today.
As a result, the train was sold out before it arrived in Moscow. They ran to Red Square , Kremlin and took a few photos, and then returned the same way to do the second business.
At that time, almost all the traitors fell into a state of madness. Although there were unfavorable factors such as blackmail, police extortion, robbery, and disagreement in the environment, the business was indeed too easy to do, and it was simply a golden age.
Basically, as long as you have a way to bring the goods to Russian , you still have the strength to bring a lot of goods, and you will not have to worry about selling them at all, and you can sell as much as you have.
and things like leather jackets have very high profits. They were sold several times the price at first, but later the competition became fierce and they sold twice.
Russians do not bargain when buying things, and they give money on the spot, which is very refreshing.
In this case, these slander run day and night, and some were stabbed by robbers with knives. They went back to stay in the hospital for a few days and continued to bring goods on the train, and they all went crazy. Why
?
money is too easy to make, people die of money.
The first batch of Beijingers and Northeastern people who were demoted were basically making a fortune. This is how some entrepreneurs in Beijing made their first pot of gold today.
Sasha remembered another Polish friend who was in the jewelry business and said the same thing.
This friend is actually German. Some of his family and friends are in East Germany, some are in West Germany and some are in Poland.
When Poland still maintained the socialist system of , it also carried out economic reforms in the last few days to allow free trade.
At that time, he went to West Germany to visit relatives and found that his relatives had opened a good feed factory. So he tried every means to import this kind of cheap and affordable feed to Poland, a major agricultural country. What do you think of the result? It's also a lot of money.
Because Poland also purchased and sold in a unified manner at that time, agricultural technology development was very bad, and high-end feed was extremely lacking. He transported the feed to Poland one by one, and before the car arrived home, he was snapped up by many farmers on the road.
In those years, he really made a fortune. His biggest regret was that his relationship was not strong enough, and there was not enough feed to Poland, so he did not make more money.
What does this mean? Not to mention Poland, as such a powerful industrial country, the Soviet Union was still lazy in life and needed to grab China's products. It can be seen from this that the lives of the Soviet people were still very bad, and they were incomparable to the West at that time.
Yeltsin's main achievements and his main bad deeds were that he insisted on carrying out capitalist reform and shock therapy when the Soviet model had basically collapsed.
Yeltsin was originally a close confidant of Gorbachev. He was promoted to Minister of Architecture in 1985, and later became Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the First Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee.
But Yeltsin did not agree with Gorbachev's reform, believing that the so-called establishment of the Soviet capitalist state is ridiculous and will inevitably fail.
Yeltsin was removed from almost all positions in 1988 due to public criticism of Gorbachev's policies.
At this time, Yeltsin had already gained a lot of reputation in Russia, so he was still in Russian politics and served as the President of the Russian Soviet Republic in 1990.
At this time, the Soviet Union was in turmoil and all ethnic groups demanded independence. Two months before Yeltsin became President of the Russian Republic, Lithuania was the first to be independent, and collapse of the Soviet Union has begun.
Yeltsin sensitively realized that the collapse of the Soviet Union was inevitable and he should maintain Russia's interests to the greatest extent.
From then on, Yeltsin began to build on Russia's independence and was elected President of the Russian Soviet Republic in June 1991, undermining Gorbachev.
2 months later, the Soviet Vice Chairman Yanayev , Minister of Defense Marshal Yazov and other hardline senior leaders (including the Vice President, Minister of Defense, Chairman of the KGB , Prime Minister, Minister of Internal Affairs) launched a coup, put Gorbachev under house arrest, and tried to use the army to suppress Yeltsin and others, and continue to maintain the existence of the Soviet Union.
At this time, Yeltsin had already controlled the army in Russia, and the coup was bound to fail.
So on August 23, 1991, Yeltsin asked the Soviet Communist Party, which launched a coup, to stop all activities in Russia.
On August 24, Gorbachev announced his resignation as General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and suggested that the CPC Central Committee dissolve itself. All franchise republics have declared independence, and there have also been claims of independence in Tatarstan, Chechnya , Siberia and other places in Russia.
On September 6, the Soviet State Council passed a resolution to recognize the independence of the three franchise republics of Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania.
Other countries are independent one after another, while Yeltsin, on the one hand, controls the army to prevent Tatarstan, Chechnya and other places from independence from Russia, and on the other hand, immediately carries out political and economic reforms.
Economic reform, which is the famous shock therapy.
It seems that shock therapy is relatively hasty.At that time, Yeltsin's environment was too poor. There were many enemies at home and abroad, and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union also had many supporters, which could change the situation and return to the socialist system at any time.
Economically, the Soviet Union left behind a hole in the economy that was riddled with holes, not only could it be unsustainable, but it also quickly entered a period of collapse.
In order to stop the rapid inflation of the Soviet Union, Yeltsin completed the reform of public ownership to private ownership as soon as possible, thus thoroughly determining the capitalist system and carrying out drastic shock therapy.
When Yeltsin quickly cut off the mess and determined the fundamental system of Russia's private ownership, the political enemies were helpless.
To this day, the Russian Communist Party is still the second largest party in the country, but it is impossible to be elected. The biggest credit is Yeltsin.
Of course, Yeltsin also had big problems.
Yeltsin's shock therapy is just to fight the country, without taking into account the actual economic problems too much, causing serious economic regression.
For example, in the restructuring of large state-owned enterprises in Russia, Yeltsin adopted the so-called shareholding reform.
A factory has 5,000 workers, and each worker gives a certain share. On the surface, everyone has become the boss of a private ownership factory.
But, where do workers know how to run factories? Only the original factory leaders, that is, the Communist Party cadres, can operate.
Key these state-owned enterprises are insolvent due to insolvency and seem to be closing at any time.
Panished workers can only sell their shares at a low price. The leaders of state-owned enterprises have completely controlled the enterprises at a relatively small cost, and state-owned enterprises have become the private products of a few leaders.
These cadres instantly embezzled the country's property and became rich. This is the new nobles of Russia.
If workers are unwilling to sell shares, these cadres can also find ways to empty the factory and declare bankruptcy, which can still take away huge assets. The result of this reform is that, first, large state-owned enterprises in the Soviet Union, especially energy enterprises, all became the property of a few people, forming Russia's oligarchs, which involved the country's economy and politics; second, a large number of enterprises went bankrupt, funds were stolen, and they were taken to the West by cadres for enjoyment, the country's economy plummeted, and workers were unemployed on a large scale.
So, Russia's economy almost collapsed in the 1990s.
It was not until Putin came to power that cracked down on non-direct oligarchs and vigorously increased energy exports, which made Russia's economy improve.
It should be noted that Yeltsin's personal morality is not very good either.
The reason why he promoted Putin was mainly because Putin came to power and signed the "First President of the Russian Federation and His Family Guarantee Act", pardoning Yeltsin and his family's crimes.
And Yeltsin's grandson-in-law was once the richest man in Russia, the aluminum industry king Oleg Jeripascal .
Today, Russia is still the worst capitalist country in capitalism, controlled by oligarchs.
