Abstract

This chapter covers the episodes leading up to the dissolution of the USSR. In particular, it analyses the impact of political, economic, and social policies such as Perestroika and Glasnost. This is followed by analysis of events surrounding the unconstitutional dissolution of the USSR and the rise of Boris Yeltsin as the new leader. The chapter analyses foreign policy of the Yeltsin government in the 1990s along with domestic economic policies of privatization and liberalisation led by Yegor Gaidar and Anatoly Chubais. Special focus is given to the economic events leading up to the Russian Bond crisis and default in 1998.
