A Time of Unparalleled Change

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a watershed moment in world history. The world's largest country, with a population of over 280 million people, suddenly found itself adrift without a guiding ideology or a clear path forward.

In the years that followed, Russia embarked on a tumultuous journey of transformation. The country's political system was overhauled, its economy was privatized, and its society was opened up to the outside world.

The transition was not without its challenges. Russia faced economic hardship, political instability, and social unrest. But through it all, the Russian people showed remarkable resilience and determination.
