The book is devoted to the problems faced by authoritarian regimes in multi-ethnic states whose economies are largely dependent on unpredictable fluctuations in the prices of fuel and energy resources. This problem is relevant to contemporary Russia, and the author explains what mistakes made by the Soviet Union should not be repeated. The uniqueness of the book is that for the first time Yegor Gaidar clearly shows how the policy of collectivization, which ruined our agriculture, predetermined in sixty-odd years the accelerated collapse of the Soviet regime, which had become de facto bankrupt by that time. What was the real economic situation of the outwardly powerful superpower, whether the collapse of the USSR was absolutely inevitable, whether it was possible to dismantle the Soviet system in any other way, and why the Chinese or Latin American path of transformation was impossible in Russia - you will find the answers to these questions in The Demise of Empire.
