The collapse of the Soviet Union was undoubtedly a major event that shocked the world.

However, its historical significance at the macro level is perfectly mismatched with its impact on a national scale.

No war, no gunpowder.

There were only a group of demonstrators and a few tanks roaming the streets.

Even the slogans held by the marchers were not lamenting the collapse of the Soviet Union, but that their lives were unsustainable because of the sharp depreciation of the ruble and the rising prices.

That's all.

It is said that only two unlucky eggs were crushed in the legs by the tank in the crowd, which did not cause large-scale bloodshed.

It's really hard to say that this is a good thing, or is it ...... A kind of sadness.

Li Yadong witnessed these things personally, and it was not until this moment that he understood that the culprit of the collapse of the Soviet Union was not actually Gorbachev, nor Yeltsin, nor even US imperialism and NATO.

But...... The Soviet people themselves.

They yearn too much for democracy and freedom in the West, and subconsciously they already have a disgust with socialism.

Therefore, the collapse of the Soviet Union was so fast, surprisingly, that the collapse of a superpower was almost only in an instant, incomparably smooth, without even half a point of hindrance.

Because this is the desire of the people.

The Soviet people got their wish, they succeeded in gaining democracy and freedom, but as the saying goes: there are gains and losses. Although there is no major social upheaval, the price paid is still high.

How can it be so easy to abandon the old socialist system and the planned economic market in an instant?

This means that almost all of the foundation will be rebuilt.

A major reshuffle affected the entire original Soviet Union.

Countless factories, enterprises, institutions, institutions, and units have been closed overnight.

Countless people lost their jobs overnight.

It is worth mentioning that ordinary laborers were spared, because they were the builders of the foundation, without whom the country would be paralyzed in an instant.

The vast majority of people who have lost their jobs are former pillars of the country, engineers, mechanics, scientific experts, and technical experts...... Wait, these guys.

After all, the Cold War has long ended, and the country is moving closer to the Western powers.

There's no need for that.

The country wants to support you, and it knows that it will be useful again in the future, but now, the country can't afford it.

This is no joke.

As early as a few months ago, Gorbachev led a delegation to Spain to attend a conference, but he changed his itinerary and returned home a day early.

The reason is poignant to say, because the Soviet Union, which was so big, could not afford to pay for the room in that luxury hotel.

The master is wandering, and the little head is in the temple.

There is only one group of people in the former Soviet Union who have no worries about food and clothing, and that is the privileged class that has been enriching themselves since many years ago.

It's okay, the wealth they have accumulated is astronomical, and even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, prices rose 162 times, and they could still afford it.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, are not so lucky.

What is the concept of 162x?

That is, a piece of brioche bread, before the collapse of the USSR, cost 4.8 rubles - this is already a very expensive price. And now, it costs 777.6 rubles!

An average laborer's monthly salary can only buy two pieces of brioche bread.

How can people who don't have a little family background make a living?

Although the general social order has not been disturbed, the era of rampant crime caused by hunger and poverty has arrived.

Let's talk about Moscow, which should still be the city with the best security situation in the former Soviet Union, but now even under the clear sky, you can hear gunshots from time to time.

In order to make a living, people use all the ridiculous things they can do to gain wealth, or ...... Bread and soft drinks.

Let's just talk about Xiao Tao, he saw that Xiao Shu found a Russian girlfriend, and his heart was very itchy.

Of course, with his net worth, it is somewhat standard. After all, it's not about playing, it's about finding a girlfriend.

He fell in love with a Moscow policewoman, named Zakhativa, a very cold woman, but she was really beautiful and had a good figure, even if she was wearing a police uniform that was not slim, it was a proper uniform and temptation.

Xiao Tao has not launched a fierce pursuit, giving flowers, gifts, and even diamonds, all of which have tried.

However, Zahativa, who is seven or eight meters tall, is not a third-class cripple like a bird.

But just last night, Zahativa took the initiative to find the door, there was no warm scene, there was no romantic date, after the two entered the room, Zahateva took off her clothes directly, and only said one sentence at that time.

"How much do you pay?"

In the end, Xiao Tao cried out and put her on the hook, and after the incident, he gave her 10,000 US dollars.

When a police officer needs to survive in such a way, can you imagine the extent of the social situation?

Li Yadong's six bank outlets outside Moscow have all been suspended, and all 23 daily necessities stores in Moscow have also closed.

No, no, it's a clear gift for others to grab.

Because whether it is money or living materials, the temptation is too great for the people of the former Soviet Union at this time.

But Li Yadong did a good thing, the headquarters of the bank in Moscow continued to open, and a commodity trade zone was opened up in the bank, as long as they were VIP customers of Dongfanghong Commercial Bank, they should have enjoyed what rights they should still enjoy.

There is only so much he can do, which can be regarded as some compensation to the customers, after all, the public security environment is not good, even if he deprives this right on this ground, it is a legitimate thing.

Moreover, he has a much better conscience than the black-hearted businessmen who take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices, and the prices of these goods that are not sold to the outside world are given to customers, and after taking into account the depreciation rate of the ruble, they are exactly the same as before, and the price has not increased.

Dongfanghong's base camp should be the most abundant place in Moscow at the moment, and there is no one, after all, no one has such a unique freight channel as Li Yadong.

I don't know how many people have died in red eyes, it's not that there are no people with ghosts in their hearts.

The night before yesterday, on the sidewalk in front of the bank, four masked gangsters who attempted to attack the bank at night were shot dead on the spot by Victor and others.

Incidentally, in order to cope with the current security environment, Li Yadong has applied for a gun license from the Yeltsin government.

This should be the first batch of gun licenses in Russia.

The government must also give, otherwise Li Yadong will close the bank headquarters.

For the current Li Yadong, the money has basically been enough, the perfection of the Soviet plan is beyond expectations, and after dealing with some sweeping work, he is no longer needed here.

There are three main aspects of the so-called tail sweeping work.

One is the bank's business, and the other is his fixed assets here, such as Yukos oil, which has to be taken care of by personnel.

And the third, he is still somewhat interested in some powerful things in the former Soviet Union, and taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, he must try it to see if he can get some.

Of course, the meal still has to be eaten bite by bite, and he plans to deal with internal matters before "dreaming".

Just when Li Yadong was busy dealing with the affairs of the bank and fixed assets, an "old friend" suddenly came to the door.
