Inside Russia's Difficult Transition to Capitalism

The Spirit of Survival (1999) - Yaroslavl’s struggling state-owned tyre factory turns into an unexpected success story.
Subscribe to Journeyman for daily current affairs and science reports: www.youtube.com...
For downloads and more information visit: www.journeyman....
When the rouble collapsed its tyres were suddenly a quarter of the cost of their imported competition. With a touch of enterprising marketing from the new management Yaroslavl’s tyres are being bought and sold everywhere. The workers that used to get paid in inner tubes and food parcels are now getting regular pay-packets. There is even a factory hospital where employees and their families enjoy the most hi-tech equipment for miles around. But cold market principles do apply. Yevgenia, the hospital’s radiologist, has 30 years experience, yet she gets paid less than a cleaner. Like most people in Yaroslavl, she gave-up any hope of being rich along time ago. “At times we get more, but then they stop raising salaries… but we keep living and the hospital can still treat the patients, this is what matters.” In towns like Yaroslavl private citizens might just succeed where Governments have failed.

Instead of a limited amount of people being killed for being jews, everyone was killed and the ones who were not lived in terrible poverty. In Nazi Germany, most citizens had a very decent quality of life. Russia is not a multiracial society. We only have whites and a small percent of indigenous people who are Asian. USSR didn't care about preserving any ethnicity inside the union and came close to actually mixing us all together. Thank god it collapsed before technology allowed that to happen. Unfortunately, the culture of most ethnicities was still compromised. This applies to most former Soviet Republics. Everyone in USSR lived in fear of being punished for any "wrong" views about the government. During Stalin times, innocent people were taken to the Gulag or shot by, practically, a lottery. I would take Nazi Germany or Putin's Russia any day over a piece of garbage called the USSR. It was a country even worse than Nazi Germany, with an even crazier ideology. The cost of human life in that country was 0.

    Now they have capitalism. A few rich, a few middle class and many poor. The jobs that were plentiful in communism are probably gone. I have grown up in capitalism, but I have to admit there are pros and cons to each system. In Capitalism we have an over abundance of products and services where as communism has a lot of scarcity. Yet, everyone had a home in communism and in the West we have tent cities for the poor...Both system suck.

    20 years later, nothing has changed. If Russia had just opened up to new opportunities, changes and integration with the rest of the economic world, like several other former Soviet republics did, as well as East Asia and most recently Southeast Asia, and not alienating themselves, the Russians outcome would've looked very different. Both Russia and China is going back to its 50's roots again, which is a shame, at least from a western perspective seing how resourceful they really are. Building a country around the control and ideas of just a handful of people isn't sustainable. It's like it's purposefully built to conflict the next generation of power for their own personal gain. It's a recipe for disaster and again its the people who they will drag down with them. Anyway, I wish the Russians all well but I don't see how Putin can feed anyone outside his greedy ring of oligarchs if he wants to keep the power. Putin is powerful, but only because he has the support from powerful friends.

    Opened up to new opportunities? What are you smoking? Yeah it's called the 90s and Russian wealth and industry was plundered by western "investors" and speculators. The Oligarchs were just a symptom of that system which was corrupt after overnight privatization of state assets robbing the people of their livelihoods. Russia tried this for nearly a generation, if they had stayed the course, mind you at great cost to the people in this video, it would have fallen into full blown civil war and a failed state. But that's what the West wanted then and now. Putin inevitably took advantage of this. A system that was created by that drunk loser before him, not Putin.

    что то все выглядит вполне окей. по сути этому не хватало косметического ремонта, новая плитка, панорамные окна хебе шибе везде, приятная мебель из искусственной алькантары, светильники тиффани местами, новая шпаклевка и редизайн недорогой продукции и все. это бы был рай на земле. и вспоминается на сколько тогда был ШИКАРНЫЙ макдональдс, по видео "красотка" "путешествие в америку(с эл дди мерфи)", "алладдин" и тд. я лет в 9 хранил коробочку от биг мак чтобы ее нюхать😂 она чем то пахла, вкусным. сейчас у меня есть все что нужно, порши, японские аудиосистемы, огромные джакуззи и тд, в общем я живу лучше царей средневековья точно, но такого кайфа конечно нет, как ни крути😊 в ссср было прикольно, именно не ссср, а стремление к западу чтоли, хз. 😊
