This book examines the challenges faced by authoritarian regimes in multi-ethnic states whose economies rely heavily on unpredictable fluctuations in fuel and energy prices. This problem is relevant to contemporary Russia, and the author explains which mistakes made by the Soviet Union should not be repeated. What makes this book unique is that Yegor Gaidar, for the first time, clearly demonstrates how the policy of collectivization, which devastated our agriculture, predetermined the accelerated collapse of the Soviet regime, which by then was de facto bankrupt. What was the real economic situation of this seemingly mighty superpower? Was the collapse of the USSR absolutely inevitable? Could the dismantling of the Soviet system have been accomplished in any other way? Why was the Chinese or Latin American path to reform impossible in Russia? You will find the answers to these questions in "The Death of an Empire."
