Russia’s Restless ’90s

Radio 4, 8pm

Tim Whewell’s examination

of the history of the country

in that glorious decade

following the collapse of the

Soviet Union opens with

Boris Yeltsin, right, now

president and determined to

shake off 70 years of state

control in favour of a more

capitalist and democratic

approach. Private business,

travel and culture was, for

the first time, encouraged,

and suddenly there was

serious money to be made.

Which is where the problems

begin. After Yeltsin’s “shock

therapy” and the

plummeting value of the

rouble, it wasn’t long before

long the country was facing

civil unrest. Ben Dowell
