Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union Economic collapse and oligarchy

Mondo Military Updated on 2024-01-29

On December 25, 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved, and the world was in an uproar. The superpower, the Soviet Union, ended in such an abrupt way. Despite the lament of the disintegration, the member states of the Soviet Union were in for a moment of relief. However, after the joy of disintegration, we are faced with the tremendous challenge of safeguarding the country's economic construction.

Ukraine's shock**: emulate the Russian tragedy.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was faced with the problem of how to build its economy independently after independence. Lacking theoretical support and practical experience, Ukraine decided to follow Russia's example and practice shock**. However, such imitation only led to the collapse of the economy. Ukraine** accelerated the privatization of state-owned enterprises and opened up the market, which led to hyperinflation and plunged Ukraine into the quagmire of economic crisis.

The rise of the oligarchs: the political fate of Ukraine.

Ukraine has experienced an economic collapse in shock **, the oligarchs have seized the opportunity to seize state assets, master resources, and the political situation is volatile. Among them, the gas tycoon Tymoshenko, with her unparalleled power, has become an important figure in Ukraine. However, this oligarchs have allowed Ukraine's national fortunes to be controlled by oligarchs, and the well-being of the people has been sacrificed to their interests.

The treacherous political arena: comedians should be **.

In 2019, Ukraine chose a comedian "Zelensky" as the new **. In "Servant of the People", he broke the corruption ** and finally succeeded in winning the ** throne. However, Kolomoisky, the boss behind it, is also the second richest person in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people realize that even if the new ** is chosen, the oligarchy is not really resolved.

Abandoned force: the price of Ukraine's renunciation of nuclear **.

Ukraine inherited a lot of military power at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, becoming the third largest military power in the world. However, the U.S. intervention in Ukraine's internal affairs and propping up economic oligarchs led Ukraine to choose to destroy all nuclear **. This move gave Ukraine economic assistance in the short term, but in fact did not bring substantial help. Ukraine gave up its military force for short-term economic support, laying the groundwork for its future fate.

Conclusion: The tortuous fate of Ukraine.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was once powerful, but in its post-independence economic exploration, it embarked on a path full of twists and turns. Oligarchy, political turmoil, economic collapse, a series of problems intertwined that have put Ukraine in a difficult situation. Today, the challenges facing Ukraine remain enormous, and sustained efforts are needed to find a way out.

As I read the above article, I am deeply struck by the twists and turns in Ukraine's history, from the collapse of the Soviet Union to the economic difficulties after independence, to the emergence of oligarchy, all of which have contributed to the tortuous and dramatic fate of Ukraine.

First, the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union on Ukraine was far-reaching and complex. The disintegration made Ukraine independent, however, independence is not the end of all problems, but the beginning of new ones. The shock mentioned in the article is a way of emulating Western countries' economic reforms in the absence of economic theory and practical experience. This decision led to the collapse of the Ukrainian economy, with inflation reaching a staggering 4734%, causing serious distress to Ukrainian society. This circumstance is reminiscent of Ukraine's close relations with Russia, which after its collapse seems to have lost its way in the search for an appropriate path of development.

Secondly, the oligarchy mentioned in the article became a distinctive feature of Ukrainian society. The political turmoil and the control of resources by the oligarchs have made the country's fortunes constantly controlled by the oligarchs. Oligarchs pursue profits, and the livelihood of the common people becomes a secondary consideration, which further widens social injustice and the gap between the rich and the poor. Especially when it comes to the gas magnate Yulia Tymoshenko, she has accumulated huge political resources by mastering the energy lifeline of Ukraine, and finally entered the ** with a high profile. This oligarchy's monopoly on the country's resources has made Ukraine's political environment even more complicated.

The turbulent political arena also poses additional challenges for Ukraine. The election of comedian Zelensky is ostensibly a political change, but in fact, the political forces behind it have not really loosened. This situation has reduced the trust of the Ukrainian people in the political system and is full of uncertainty about the future of the country.

Finally, the article mentions that Ukraine once abandoned the decision to give up nuclear ** in order to obtain short-term economic assistance. This decision obviously solves some economic problems in the short term, but in the long run, whether it is worth it becomes a question worth pondering. The article does not explicitly express the attitude towards this decision, but perhaps this is also the space left by the author for the reader to think.

Overall, Ukraine's history has been a confusing one. It is hoped that in the future, Ukraine will be able to learn from the experience of the past and find a more robust and sustainable development path to achieve the prosperity of the country and the well-being of its people.
