Not as good as the Soviet Union. At its peak, the GDP of the Soviet Union reached 40% of that of the United States. Is there 10% now? When it was just disintegrated, I heard several American experts say that shock therapy was complete privatization. State-owned enterprises have been acquired by foreign companies at very cheap prices, and they are all core areas. Or acquired by oligarchs with connections and backgrounds. Therefore, the industrial upgrading and adjustment of the whole country is impossible. Enterprises controlled by foreign companies will always work for others. Enterprises controlled by oligarchs always make money by monopoly, not by technological innovation.

The Russian economy seems to have just returned to the period when the Soviet Union disintegrated a while ago. Their whole country has wasted 20 years! ! ! !

A while ago, oil prices soared and Russia made a fortune. Now that the price of oil has come down, he can't do it any more, because foreign trade has always been supported by selling oil, natural gas and weapons. Not to mention Europe and America, the industrial structure is even inferior to that of China. Agriculture has not changed much either. It turned out that the Soviet Union was simply plundering agricultural products from other countries to support Russia's development. The prices of agricultural products in other countries are very low and must be planted, benefiting Russia. Not now. Many Russian farmers have made a lot of money by buying land and growing vegetables in China.

As for social order. The Soviet period was a little white terror, but it was certainly not as terrible as the legend. It is illogical for the secret police to arrest people every day. This is all American political propaganda. Otherwise, we would have rebelled. How can we stand disintegration? But the secret police are gone, and now Russian gangs are rampant. Many oligarchs started from gangs and got their first pot of gold through robbery, deception or trafficking.

During the period of Jelchin, the society was very unstable and the economy was too poor to operate under the oligarchy of Jing Rong. Moreover, foreign experts had great influence on the government's economic policy at that time, and they simply obeyed. During Putin's period, the society was much more stable, and finally he wanted to crack down on oligarchs.

When Russia eliminated oligarchs, foreign forces and domestic corruption. I believe that relying on the Slavs' strong and industrious character and Russia's vast territory and rich resources, they will return to the status of a superpower.
