Russia’s Shock Therapy: The Collapse of a Superpower

Russia’s economic transformation in the 1990s was one of the most radical experiments in modern history. Known as shock therapy, this approach dismantled the Soviet command economy almost overnight, plunging millions into poverty and creating an oligarchy that still dominates Russia today.
