On victorious renaissance of large-scale market mythology in Russia in the period of transformation reforms

摘要

Socio-economic characteristics of the systems crisis which was brought about to Russia during the reforms period and was caused by implementing “shock therapy” are examined. Its main negative and positive consequences for the country are noted and the most important reasons for it are systematized. They include both conducting reforms on the basis of “Washington Consensus” provisions and ignoring economic peculiarities of the Russian state and society. Formulations and content of the main myths of implementing reforms are given, as well as their possible consequences.
