Human capital in post-transition Russia: Some critical remarks
Baltic RIM Economies Review. 2020. No. 1. Article 2685.
Anikin V. A., Karavay A.
The year 2020 marks the 30th anniversary for the post-soviet transition of Russia, and the post-soviet transformations have been spectacular. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s led to a rapid depreciation of human capital at state-owned enterprises and caused a major crisis throughout the manufacturing and services industries. Market reforms took place that were premised on the idea that they should become fruitful ground for further socioeconomic development, and in particular, for the transition to a new information age represented by a fully-fledged knowledge economy. The economic growth of the early 2000s was expected to facilitate this transition. Are there any achievements now to celebrate?
