do you think Yelstin that powerfull to pick a random person? Putin was known to WEF Klaus Schwab since 1992 and many times to Davos forums. he was already in power but not visible. Putin himself said i have many Jewish friends. .Putin brought his Saint Petersburg team from the start. Yeltsin never had the power and sophistication. Putin owe nothing to him.Putin is just trying to keep the legacy of the man who put him in power in the first place. But Yeltsin's government's catastrophic governance only started to improve after Primakov was made Prime Minister.
Ariel Sharon in 2001 about Putin.
Sharon did not lose any opportunity to praise Putin for his relative friendship toward Israel and his relations with the Russian Jewish community.
not every country is capable of benefiting from shock therapy. how do you think Ukraine war is fought? this is the result of not gradual investments but shock therapy that forced to create new opportunities in 1990s.By comparing what happened with the Russian and Chinese economies it is pretty easy to tell that shock therapy is basically a disaster. The Chinese economy started out from a much lower baseline yet did more gradual and limited in scope changes to the economy which simply worked better. Processes need to be more gradual and the state should always retain the commanding heights of the economy and natural monopolies. This is basically the same mixed market economy which the Western countries used in the post war period to great success.
Claimed "successes" of shock therapy like Poland after the Cold War happened because of several factors. The West forgave Poland's debt, and they got massive cash infusions both before and after they joined the European Union. But even then a lot of the population emigrated and much of the industrial sector collapsed.
I am sure some one told him to take this line on Ukraine and there will be compensation if losses with Europe.
if you still not understand than look at the Porsche.
