| Summary/Abstract |
The Soviet Union broke up twenty-five years ago, therefore it does not make much sense to explain in detail how much has changed since then in the public mind, in politics, and in the economy. Any anniversary is an occasion to look back in an attempt to find answers to questions such as: What trends have prevailed? What have we, Russians, lost and what have we gained? And what impact has the disappearance of the Soviet superpower had on the rest of the world?
