Russia Stock Market
Posted by Noman Manzoor | Posted in
The Russian Empire was ousted in 1917 and, with Vladimir LENIN as leader, the Communists took over the country and created the USSR. With Iosif STALIN as leader, the control of the communists in the Soviet Union strengthened, but with General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV attempts were made to bring modernity to Communism. The USSR eventually declined in December 1991; the result was Russia and 14 autonomous republics. Russia has experienced difficulties in establishing a democratic political system and a market economy rule. Under the leadership of Vladimir PUTIN, power has once again been centralized.
