Abstract

Transition in Russia, greatest and richest country of the world, is of the great interest for the most observers of the this process. Contrary to the promises of the reformators, the country fall into deep and longterm crisis, followed by the enormous decrease of production and riching of the little group of „new russian“. The objective analysis shows the prevalent role in this process of the „family“ – group near the ex-president, i. e. their cousins and friends. The paper deals with one of the mechanisms by wich these results are realised. This mechanism is the giving to the exploitation of the natural resources (oil, gaz etc.) to the private (foreign) companies under for the Russia very bad circumstances, in the frame of the regime of the division of production, very similar to the concession scheme. These schemes were not used in Russia until the period of NEP in the 1920-s, and they were renewed in the middle of 1990-s. Транзиција у Русији, највећој и по многим мишљењима најбогатијој земљи света, не престаје да изазива интересовање и чуђење. Насупрот обећањима реформатора, земља је запала у дубоку и дуготрајну кризу, уз огроман пад производње и енормно богаћење малог броја „нових Руса”. Објективна анализа показује да је преовлађујућу улогу у процесу имала „породица” – екипа из окружења бившег председника, његова најближа родбина и шири круг пријатеља. У раду се детаљније разматра један од механизама којим су остварени наведени резултати, наиме уступање руских природних налазишта на експлоатацију приватним (пре свега страним) компанијама под за Русију веома неповољним условима, а у оквиру режима поделе производње, врло сличног концесионој шеми. Овакве шеме у Русији нису коришћене још од периода НЕП-а током двадесетих година XX века, а обновљене су средином деведесетих.
