Twenty Years Later
Twenty years ago Russia celebrated the fall of the communist regime – it was achieved hard, with the support of the ordinary people, with the participation of soldiers who threw the red barrettes and joined the public, with the death of patriots who wanted something better for their country. This is how the heroes of modern Russia were born, but this is also the time when they died simply because nowadays Russia struggles to call itself democratic and its people live in the dust of ruthless rulers and oligarchs.
The first democratically elected president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, would now be quite unhappy with what political power turned his country into. The federation is no longer democratic and it has been such probably only for a year. The wealth is equally distributed among powerful figures, the political players stay the same for almost a decade and a half changing the laws to accommodate their own political and financial needs and to address their decreasing liabilities. Russian banks have long gone passed corporate finance and business loans – they now house the financial resource of a corrupted country.
So the question that begs answering is whether there has been actually been any change in the governance and the attitude of the Russian political elite towards democracy since the fall of the Soviet regime. The answer might be well composed essay of a few thousand words with millions of references. But we can put it simply into a sentence – the Russian federation inherited all the weakness of the Soviet regime and the names of the heroes that broke its chains are forgotten – simply because a brand new chains suffocate the Russian country.
