Article Abstract:
The fall of the Soviet Union has prompted questions from the international community whether the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will continue to supply it with financial aid packages, since the largest one has failed to uplift the Russian economy. The IMF has involved itself in various attempts in stabilizing Russia's political and economic policy to prevent it from further decline. Although assistance from the IMF has been slow, several improvements have recently begun to take shape.
