Evaluating extremely critical indicators of the state of Russian society and managing socioeconomic development with them

摘要

Judging by officially published figures, the socioeconomic development of Russia appears relatively successful, especially compared to the 1990s. However, a more detailed analysis of the situation on the basis of indicators that reflect fundamental social and economic processes convinces us that the Russian economy and society are on the brink of collapse. This paper by Academician S. Yu. Glaz'ev and Professor V. Lokosov, delivered at an RAS Presidium meeting, was devoted to this problem. They proposed a new approach to the assessment of the socioeconomic system. We also publish the expanded text of their paper and its discussion. ? 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
