Can Russia survive the horrors that lie ahead?

Article Abstract:

Some Russians have become very rich through the process of de-Sovietization. Meanwhile, the average age of death for male Russians is 54-years-old, and in Turkey it is 68-years-old. Many Russians have moved to Turkey to escape problems at home. Russian power plants have truned off power due to lack of coal. Russians grow produce on their own plots, and face starvation if the produce rots. Many Russians saw capitalism as brutish and likely to give rise to short-termism, and the development of a nasty type of capitalism in Russia could be seen as proving Lenin to have been correct.

Kill or cure for Mother Russia

Article Abstract:

Price controls were introduced in Russia in 1992 as the first stage of President Boris Yeltsin's economic reforms. Russians remain pessimistic about the future because of ineffectual leadership and corruption. They anticipate the collapse of the Russian federation with ensuing anarchy, food shortages, industrial disruption and civil strife. Western aid, provided against Russian government guarantees, could be a possible solution.
