In captivity lies.

Worsening socio-economic situation in the country, and the apparent power crisis, sharpened public attention not only to issues of today, but also to the period of formation of government, to the 90-th years of last century. Therefore, a cohort of politicians, who are the heirs of the reformers of the time, and serving the writers of today and try to imagine the historic events as a heroic struggle for a bright future of Russia. A grab public property, as the only possible way out of crisis.

Here's how to highlight the event a columnist for Izvestia, Alexander Archangel, defend Gaidar and his supporters: "... if not an economic determination young reformers, the ruined country would have died a painful death by starvation, would be ravaged by itself."
And further, to present the horror of the end of the Soviet Union, Archangel quoted excerpts from a lecture Gaidar, read about the release of his book, "Death of the Empire": "The lecture is interesting, with quotations from the minutes of the meetings of the Politburo, with diagrams and charts. The story itself is even more interesting: the Soviet Union had forgotten how to grow corn for its procurement sat down on the oil needle, but was unable to get off, with the collapse of the oil market in 1986 is not prepared and was very surprised when the crash still occurred. Along the way the Soviet Union got into the maze of oil and gas pricing, use anyone, even terrorists to maintain high prices. "
Who can deny the power crisis the party-economic bureaucracy in the Soviet Union? But because it is not about how it is trying to present the Archangel and Gaidar. Having brought the country to collapse, the top Communist Party sought to maintain power and keep it at any cost. Here then hurry up young reformers, suggested that the party and economic bureaucracy of state property, and people give meaningless piece of paper - vouchers. Accumulated same people the money to depreciate, making him a beggar, and thereby make it work for new owners.
 No farmers have forgotten how to grow corn, how it wished to do Gaidar and his ilk, and grain mafia when the CPSU, as wrote in his memoirs, and Yakovlev, put the country in such conditions. By buying Canadian wheat, at a fabulous price, and they got to this trade are enormous broth. They did everything to grow corn in their own country was not profitable. But, young reformers to justify themselves, must submit all so that it is the collective farms were unable to provide the country with grain.
"And then - dead end political economy - continues to impose its interpretation of the history of Arkhangelsk. - Dvadtsatimilliardnaya hole in the budget, do not buy grain on that, to maintain artificially low prices for raw materials within the Eastern bloc is impossible, and that change whatsoever in the device system may fail: the ruling class absolutely no ready. "
We can say, listening to the Archangel, a hopeless situation. Hopeless, in the sense that an exit was not satisfied with the very power, as it was necessary to share power and property of the people, and they did not want this. Therefore attracted Gaidar, Chubais and others that they have helped to reformat with the conservation authorities in the same kpeesesovskih brokers.
Today, they argue that saved the country, but in reality only pushed the crash, drove the disease even further. What today and found.
"To think what is more unfashionable - coyly says Arkhangelsk. - Is now accepted to date the collapse of the USSR December 8, 1991, calling it at best Belovezhskoye collusion, at worst, the main geopolitical catastrophe of the 20 th century, long for the days of equitable distribution, (again, a lie! "There is no equitable distribution in the USSR and was not ...) to talk about unsolved advantages of socialist system, ruined overdue restructuring. But history is not very interested in fashion (although the fashion, including intellectual, has its own history). She is interested in facts and estimates made on the basis of knowledge of the facts. "
Therefore, Arkhangelsk and Gaidar and juggling of the facts involved, wanting to present them in a favorable form for ourselves. Therefore, to pile one lie to another, being in her captivity. So even with the crisis of the oligarchs and bureaucratic power Archangel wants to submit, not as a result of transformation of 90-ies, when the current state was formed, and as a result of high oil prices.
"Today, political power, is again on top of the pyramid of oil behave much smarter than acted their communist predecessors. Economic lessons from the collapse of the Soviet Union, undoubtedly made, and there is the Stabilization Fund, there is a market, there is the ability to refuse excessive social requests - even if this extra money available. "
The main achievement of the last change in Arkhangelsk - is the presence of the stabilization fund and the market, but the fact that during this period the population of Russia decreased by 15 million, which ruined many fates that the country has experienced more than one war that has not yet reached the pre-reform level of production and life is not important.
They are important, as becomes clear from all the arguments of the Archangel, the people did not understand the whole essence of what happened, and asked the young reformers, for crimes against the people.
 "But what if life, swinging to the right, swings to the left? Then what? "- With obvious dismay, asks Archangel.
Then and ask.
