Homeless and starving children in the Russian federation, soon after Yeltsin forced the nation into a presidential republic and dissolved the supreme soviet of the Russian federation. And the parliament

  1. These pictures were taken mostly after the dissolution of the supreme soviet of the Russian federation

    The supreme soviet attempted to keep inflation low and to stop price gouging of food

    The parliament was also dissolved illegally by Yeltsin after he was impeached

    Before Yeltsins coup Russia operated as a blossoming boosting a more democratic system than most nations

    The constitution was based off of the previous soviet constitution made by Brezhnev, Yeltsin turned the nation into a warmongering and terrorist state in 1993 with no democracy

    The next elections in 1996 were totally fraudulent and denied the leftist election victory

    Yeltsin created Putin

  2. You are about to insinuate that the abolition of that totalitarian monster, which was the Soviet Union, created poverty and misery in Russia.

    This is misleading Soviet propaganda.

    Poverty, desperation, misery and disorientation gripped post-Soviet society precisely because these were the realities of 80 years of Soviet rule. It wasn’t the fall of the Soviet Union that caused all these tragedies, it was the very Soviet legacy that broke free.

  3. I suppose that is some kind of primer or paint they were inhaling as a drug. Sadly this was common in occurance in other Iron Curtain countries in the 90s.

  4. In 90s USA and NATO sent tons of food aid to Russia and actually saved millions of russians from starving. In 20 years after, people who survived these times will start blame America for every shit happens with them.

  5. After this, Yeltsin also more or less created the political infrastrutture that allowed Putin to become the new Tsar.

    Dude wasn’t simply incompetent or corrupt. He quite literally killed the stillborn Russian democracy.

  11. I often wonder what would have happened if the coup attempt never happened, and the USSR had managed to form into a federation

  17. I once saw a document about these kids… they were living in sewer tunnels. Like rats. In Moscow and other big cities. Poor souls.

    What a shithole of a country.

  18. I’ll always remember a quote Colin Thubron had when reading In Siberia as he traveled across post-Soviet Russia, he was talking to someone about the shock to society who told him (closely paraphrasing) “they said we were living in the dark, but now we are dying in the light” as life expectancy dropped 6 years between 1991 and 1994.

  19. Well, few people got very rich quickly right after

    Think about it next time when you hear about russian oligarchs.

  21. Well, during that times in other parts of ussr it was way worse. Russia was leeching every possible resource from Ukraine, Belarus Baltics. Ukraine suffered the most.

  22. Before the war in Ukraine, this was the only image I had of the country. Children sniffing shit, living near the city heating pipes under ground.

  25. It’s not like Yeltsin and Putin were air dropped along the potato beetle by the pesky Amercians to destroy the glorious Soviet Union.

    USSR failed because the economy was in complete shambles and whatever was left got taken over by Nomenklatura.

  29. Man that fucking hurts what the olgarchy and the imf did to russia is dispicable

    .
    AlsoThe supreme soviet was the name for the russian parliment for the first 2 years

  31. “POoR rUsSians in Soviet Union” who were trying to destroy Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and many other countries & nationalities finally saw how it is when our country suffers. Fuck russia – they have always been hypocrites. When they ruin other countries, they do not think about it. And when russians themselves face the consequences , they cry for help

  33. Kremlin bot.

    The fuck did “forcing into presidential republic” had to do with homeless and starving children?

    How much did FSB paid you to write that stupid shit?

    Russia, like any post-communist country was going through the same hell that started in the 80’s. Reforming planned economy structure, that failed at least 2 decades before the collapse of USSR, into market one is not easy. Same homeless and starving children were everywhere in ex-Soviet countries.
