Boris Yeltsin -- A Combination of Mother Russia and Modern Russia
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses Russia’s first elected president, Boris Yeltsin. Was he a an old-style Russian oligarch determined to take his rightful place in the leadership of his country? Or can he be better-defined as a leader firmly in touch with the needs and desires of the “real” Russians -- the people once described as the “proletariat.” He has been alternately adored and vilified, praised and blamed for the “new” Russia. But it should not be forgotten he certainly deserves credit for truly monumental achievements. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Business Effect of Russia's Lack of Infrastructure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the lack of information management infrastructure as a factor contributing to the vastly uneven growth of the economy before its financial collapse in 1998. Many individual businesses were well equipped with the technological standards of business today, but they were concentrated in only a few major industries. All other segments of the economy did not fully share that good fortune—not only was infrastructure lacking in many areas but where it did exist there often were no qualified technical personnel to manage them. Observers believe that Russia will fare much better when the economy grows again. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
