Reforming Russia for pleasure and profit?

Article Abstract:

The economic and social repercussions of reform in Russia have been very severe, and there are still no signs of these repercussions coming to an end. However, the West has shown strong interest in becoming involved in the transformation of Russia into a stable, wealthy country. In many cases, the West has supported leaders and cliques, rather than institutions and principles. It must be recognized that local economic and institutional conditions placed severe limitations on choices made in Russia and towards Russia.
