In today's Russia, nostalgia for the Soviet era is growing. Many Russians reflect wistfully on the passing of an era when the Soviet Union was a superpower, commanding international respect, and they blame its demise on external enemies and foolish changes in policy. In an address to the Russian Federal Assembly, President Vladimir Putin called the breakup of the Soviet Union the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. In Collapse of an Empire: Lessons for Modern Russia , however, economic reformer and former prime minister Yegor Gaidar clearly illustrates why such notions are misguided, ill informed, and dangerous. As he explains in the introduction: "My goal is to show the reader that the Soviet political and economic system was unstable by its very nature. It was just a question of when and how it would collapse." Although the Soviet Union never referred to itself as an empire, it fit Gaidar's definition: "a powerful multiethnic state formation in which the power (or at least the right to vote) is concentrated in the metropolis and its democratic institutions (if they exist), though the power and those institutions do not extend to the entire territory under its control." The U.S.S.R. sat on a shaky foundation of far-flung lands, conquered peoples, centralized authoritarian government, and a command economy overly reliant on natural resources. Gaidar explains why this once-powerful state was doomed to fail eventually, and why Russians should be looking forward rather than backward in building their nation. He worries that Russia is repeating some of its tragic mistakes, including uneven economic development that leaves the nation vulnerable to fluctuations in the energy market. Gaidar uses the Soviet case as a device for understanding the life cycle of empires, which found themselves at the wrong end of history in the twentieth century. World War I spelled the end for the Hapsburgs, Ottomans, and Romanoffs, for example, and Europe's overseas empires began breaking apart after World War II. In the 1990s, the final remaining territorially integrated empire-the Soviet Union-fell. This is no mere coincidence: "The dissolution of empires in the twentieth century is a component of the process of global change that is called modern economic growth." To reproduce such a flawed model of governance would be a tragic mistake, yet many Russians still look backward through rose-colored glasses as their government centralizes power again. Such misplaced nostalgia defies reality while it imperils the future of Russia and its people.

经济向来就难以与政治脱了干系。繁盛时,精英们会思度如何让政府民主、廉洁,有效率;萧败时,总有民众会不满现状,妄图揭竿而起。 从经济学角度剖析一个政权的解体,既避免了政治领域形而上的大是大非,又能用各种数据进行佐证,使人们理智的去认知。 作为一名曾经体制内的亲...

从某种意义上说,该书是一个前高官对USSR在1980到1991年间走向崩溃的文件摘要汇编。其中夹带的私货很多,对2006年的俄国领导层颇怀怨望,同时,该书关于叶利钦的好朋友们在91年前如何原始积累的内容,提到字数不超过20个(大概吧),偏向性非常明显,需要带着怀疑的眼光来看。 ...

石油不背锅 苏联的崩溃是90年代最重大事件,没有之一。嗣后出版了汗牛充栋的回忆录和分析材料。盖达尔将原因归结为国际原油价格下跌所带来的连锁反应,压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草。可是苏联作为超级大国,仅凭一个单一事件就亡党亡国,终归有些轻率。 苏联崩溃,物质层面与精神层...

苏联,曾经横亘东欧中亚北亚,近代世界面积最大的一个帝国,短短不到百年轰然倒塌。曾经响彻云霄与资本主义意识形态分庭抗礼的社会主义,黯然倒戈。 《帝国的消亡: 当代俄罗斯的教训》是1992年曾任俄罗斯联邦政府代总理的盖达尔写的,说实话,看的有些云里雾里。头四分之一讲各...

在学校看完了前面关键的几章,在火车上翻完了后面对俄罗斯帝国消亡过程的描述和分析。 20世纪最后一个帝国,也许是人类历史上最后一个帝国,苏联,似乎是在一夜间倒塌了。造成这种倒塌的原因,大概有两个,经济结构问题,以及在此环境下戈尔巴乔夫推行民主。 苏...
