When Yeltsin left office, he suddenly summoned Putin and said, "Please take care of Russia." Did Putin do it?

Although Russia's economy has not been well improved, it proves Putin's contribution to ensuring Russia's stable development under the circumstance of being surrounded by powerful enemies.

On the last day of the new century, then Russian President Yeltsin suddenly announced his resignation. According to the Russian Constitution, Putin is the president. Then the new century came, and Putin was successfully elected president of Russia. Knowing that he could not pull Russia out of recession, Yeltsin resigned. Yeltsin said to Putin at the handover ceremony? Take care of Russia? .

The former Soviet Union is the only superpower in the world. At that time, the Soviet Union's military strength was very strong, but due to the serious polarization, its economic strength declined very much. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, although Russia inherited the property of the Soviet Union well, the problems left over from Soviet history were also handed over to Russia. Putin was very proud to say at the press conference after being ordered to face danger? Give me 20 years and I will give you a Russian miracle? .

Because of this commitment, Putin has devoted himself to Russia for 20 years. Twenty years passed quickly. During these 20 years, Russia can't say that it has become an economic power, but it is still developing steadily and continuously. Especially in the first 10 year of Putin's administration, the Russian economy grew by 6% during the first 10 year of Putin's administration, ranking among the best in the world at that time.

However, the good times did not last long. In the world economic crisis triggered by Wall Street, Russia was not spared and suffered heavy losses. The subsequent Crimean incident also allowed NATO countries led by the United States to find reasons for economic sanctions against Russia. This undoubtedly adds new pressure to Russia, which has just been hit hard by the economic crisis. It was not until recent years that Russia, which was carrying heavy loads, slowly recovered.

Because it inherited the wealth of the Soviet Union, Russia's military strength is beyond doubt. But economically, it is not easy to drag Russia out of the previous economic quagmire. Coupled with NATO's close attention, Russia's economic development is extremely difficult, domestic prices soar, and the rupee continues to depreciate.

Fortunately, education and medical care in Russia are free, which greatly relieves the economic pressure of the domestic people. So far, Russia still relies on its own mineral resources to slowly promote its economy. But we can't deny Putin's contribution to the Russian economy in the past 20 years. It's not easy for the Russian economy to not collapse even though it is surrounded by powerful enemies.
