After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited the fruits of more than half a century of the Soviet Union and became a leader in the fields of nuclear, tank and space technology at that time. In 1991, Yeltsin was successfully elected as the first ** in Russian history, and during this period, two ** and two regimes appeared in the Soviet Union, and the signs of the Soviet ** began to appear. The rivalry between Yeltsin and Gorbachev was white-hot, and Yeltsin won over Belarus and Ukraine through some verbal promises, and his strength increased greatly, and he eventually became the leader of Russia. However, he did not have the talent to command Russia, and the Soviet economy was on the verge of collapse several times. Although he announced several reforms, his strength and confidence were not enough to shake the financial oligarchs and predators. What is even more ironic is that someone in the Yeltsin family joined the ranks of oligarchs, and he became one of the oligarchs at that time. By 1999, Russia's economic output had become negative, its foreign debt was rising, domestic decrees were changing frequently, the ruble was devalued hundreds of times, and the financial oligarchy was becoming more and more rampant. Under the contradictions of all parties in the country, Yeltsin **, the successor is Putin, whom he personally selected.
This raises the question: how exactly did Russia's ** and prime minister come about?Soon after Yeltsin came to power, he began to search for a qualified successor. He was well aware of the historical situation in Russian politics and knew the consequences of following Stalin's old path. Therefore, he sought a qualified successor, and the main consideration was loyalty. Eventually, he chose Putin because he was smart, stoic, and well-educated to be trusted. Judging from Putin's subsequent series of measures, his choice is still correct. Putin has shown strong leadership and charisma since coming to power, leading Russia to a unique path of development. Through a series of reforms, he effectively curbed the misconduct of the financial oligarchy and strengthened the country's economic power and international standing. At the same time, Putin has adopted a series of foreign policies, restored Russia's important position in international affairs, and launched a series of anti-corruption actions at home, effectively purifying the political environment. It can be said that both Yeltsin and Putin have left a deep mark on Russian history. The turmoil of the Yeltsin era contrasts sharply with the stability of the Putin era. Yeltsin's selection of Putin also became an important turning point in the history of Russia's political development.
Over time, this history has also taught us that the importance of a country's choice of leaders is crucial to the future development of the country. After Putin came to power, he seized military and economic power, and began to attack some of Russia's big predators and economic oligarchs. They were either brought down by Putin or sent to prison. However, Yeltsin, the largest economic oligarchy, escaped unscathed. Many people wonder: How did Yeltsin survive after Putin came to power?It is reported that Putin and Yeltsin signed some covenants at that time, which bound Putin's rights over the Yeltsin family. What is even more shocking is that Putin also used the state's property to give Yeltsin mansions and villas, and equipped them with bodyguards and doctors. Under Putin's protection, the Yeltsin family's business flourished, inflicting huge losses on the Russian people. However, at a critical moment, Yeltsin chose to cooperate with Putin, who is also grateful for his cultivation and reuse. It can be said that Yeltsin is one of the lucky ones in Russia. How capable is Putin in power?Twenty years have passed, how has the Russian economy changed?Is there a new situation for Russia?These questions are worthy of our in-depth understanding.
Since coming to power, Putin has actively pursued a series of reform policies and focused on enhancing Russia's international status and strength. He is committed to revitalizing the country's economy and improving the living standards of the people. Russia's military spending has increased dramatically and its foreign policy has become more assertive, demonstrating Putin's strong leadership and determination. And under Putin's administration, Russia's gross domestic product (GDP) has also grown significantly. According to the International Monetary Fund**, Russia's GDP grew from about $260 billion in 2000 to about $1.6 trillion in 2019, an increase of nearly six times. This data fully demonstrates the vigorous development of the Russian economy under Putin's rule. In addition, Putin has also promoted a series of domestic reforms, invested a lot of money in education, medical care, social welfare and other fields, and improved the living conditions of the people. His dedication to fighting corruption and improving the country's ability to govern and achieve fairness and justice has won the support of the people. With the rise of China and the United States in international affairs, Russia's role in geopolitics has also become more critical and important.
Putin has used Russia's influence in world politics to strengthen international cooperation and promote a series of international affairs and regional stability. His leadership and diplomatic wisdom have been widely recognized by the international community. Overall, Putin's ability to govern is evident, and his reform policies and leadership style have led Russia on a unique path of development. Russia's strong economic growth and active role in international affairs demonstrate Putin's leadership charisma and outstanding ability. In the future, with the continuous changes in the international situation, Russia will also usher in more challenges and opportunities. How will Putin respond to these challenges?What kind of development situation will Russia usher in?These issues will be the focus of global attention. Let's wait and see what the future of Russia will be.
