Chapter 640 The Soviet Union All Along

When he returned to the car, Lin Yu couldn't help but snort coldly, "A group of insatiable guys." ，/”

Danze also sneered and said, "They naturally thought that they still wanted to make the ruble a waste paper, so that maybe they didn't have to spend a penny, and they could also bankrupt a country by the way, and get astronomical wealth out of thin air. ”

Hearing Dan Ze say this about the banker, Lin Yu's face twitched slightly, you must know that he also belonged to a financier in his previous life, isn't this also ironicing himself? But he also knew that the reason why Danzer hated bankers was entirely because he was born into an aristocracy, and he didn't have a good impression of those money-hungry guys, so he didn't care about it, but said, "According to the calculation of 25 times the depreciation, in fact, we also need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in actual money, let Europe prepare, in addition, let the Russian government raise the transaction price of the ruble to the dollar, if nothing else, these guys will try their best to transfer the funds out, I can't be so cheap for them."

Dan Ze nodded, he knew the reason why Lin Yu did this, he didn't want this country to go bankrupt, leave a little strength, at least recover quickly, the future family will expand its power in the world with great fanfare, start a war, and the current Soviet power is indispensable.

In the end, everything went as planned, and the ruble depreciated, and at an unimaginable rate, at which point the dramatic scene of the party outside the private bank openly exchanging the depreciating ruble for the dollar appeared.

At this time, the anxious Soviets had completely failed to estimate the private banks that were well serviced and did not need to queue up in the past, and except for European banks and a few American banks, other banks and institutions no longer offered smiles and coffee.

The depreciation of the ruble continued, and the Russian ruble quickly collapsed from 1 ruble to 28 US dollars, and the value of the KC ruble was exchanged for 1 dollar, depreciating 280 times, and it was only at this time that the value of the ruble stabilized, and Russia's financial system and market price system also collapsed, and everyone's savings depreciated 280 times overnight with the collapse of the ruble, and a once world's second largest economy instantly fell to the status of a third-rate power.

Hundreds of billions of dollars sold a superpower that dominated the northern part of Eurasia for 70 years! This is perhaps the greatest comedy and tragedy of the 20th century.

At the end of the 20 th century, the political map of the world fluctuated violently, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the frequent discoloration of Eastern European countries brought the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe into people's attention again. On December 26, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR finally declared the cessation of existence in the form of a constitution.

At the same time, Yeltsin declared the CPSU organization illegal, seized the CPSU building, and banned all activities of the CPSU.

Surprisingly, however, all this happened in such a short period of time. Why did Gorbachev's perestroika bury the Soviet Union? Was it economic or political reforms that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union? Why did the superpower, which had accumulated 70 years of wealth and a total value of industry and agriculture worth $3 trillion (1980), suddenly disappear?

What is even more amazing is that where did the huge assets of the Soviet Union fall?

Why did the concussive therapy, which was a major success in Poland, be used in Russia, but caused an extreme recession of the entire country's economy?

It is known that the first reformer in the USSR was Lenin.

In 1921, a peasant storm broke out, although it showed great superiority in the wartime of armed intervention against the Allies, but it hurt the interests of the peasants.

Lenin urgently ordered the regulation of the country's economy, the implementation of the New Economic Policy, and the revival of the Soviet economy.

Next came Stalin's stage.

Lenin's NEP could have lasted much longer, but the complicated international situation forced Stalin to abandon the NEP: "When we don't need it, put it aside." ”

The main source of Stalin's decisive choice to abandon the NEP was the stormy China: "There is no heavy industry in China, there is no military industry, and now whoever is happy can be ravaged." ”

What happened to China made Stalin realize the importance of developing heavy industry and military industry, so the Soviet Union put heavy industry and military industry at the forefront of economic development, but it was understandable to do so at the time, because the Soviet Union was surrounded by the surrounding capitalist countries and a restless Germany next to it.

But problems arose: because the highly centralized planned economic system seemed too perfect at the time, the average annual economic growth rate of the Soviet Union in the first two five-year plans exceeded 20 RL (Chapter 640 and the accumulation of effective risk aversion), and foreign capital, technology, and talent soon began to turn to the Soviet Union in search of a way out.

However, Stalin did not take advantage of this favorable opportunity to attract a large amount of foreign capital, or in other words, in the name of the government, he came forward to absorb high-quality assets from the United States and Western Europe at a low price, but he still achieved great results.

In the Second World War, the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union was even more vividly manifested, and the combined industrial capacity of Germany and Italy, which occupied Western Europe except England, was still less than half of that of the Soviet Union, and the huge production capacity of the Soviet Union provided him with enough tanks, planes and artillery in the war, which was the sword of the Soviet Union to win.

In the aftermath of the war, Stalin became even more convinced of the one-sided understanding that wartime policy was the correct and convenient way forward.

But Stalin was well aware that he had to introduce some kind of reform to the USSR, not economic, but political, that is, to reform the Soviet bureaucracy, as I said before, but this reform ended in failure.

Next came Khrushchev.

There was also an episode before Khrushchev, when the chairman of the Soviet Union, Marelinko, tried to push the reforms and raise the wages of the workers in his capacity as chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, but Khrushchev quickly stopped the counterattack and firmly controlled the regime.

However, although Khrushchev criticized Stalin from beginning to end, he still changed the soup but did not change the medicine, and the state still practiced a highly centralized planned economic system and the Stalin-Soviet model.

Khrushchev was the only general secretary in the history of the Soviet Union who was ousted, in other words, Khrushchev was forced to "voluntarily step down", and then Brezhne, who led the Soviet Union to "extreme prosperity".

During the Brezhnev period, a series of talented people, such as Kosygin and Sherepin, important Soviet ministers, pushed the Soviet Union to reform the new economic system, which is the famous "troika" in history. Perestroika was initially unusually successful, and the Soviet economy improved dramatically, maintaining double-digit rapid growth.

Paul = Volcker on November 9, 1978 proposed "the world economy has a controlled disintegration,"

The question is, whose body is the solution? How to disintegrate?

The first to bear the brunt were, of course, the heavily indebted Third World countries, followed by the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

After the dollar and the pound are completely freed from the shackles of the "gold standard", the capitalists can use the efficient "meat grinder" of "inflation" with confidence.

After the sharp rise in interest rates on the dollar and the pound, the huge debts of the third world countries, squeezed by such astonishing "usury", have doomed them to become meat in the meat grinder of the capitalists.

The first target, of course, was not Soviet Eastern Europe, but Japan.

After World War II, Japan rose rapidly with strong foreign capital and its own soft power, and the vigorous rise of Japan's economy made the confidence of the Japanese people unprecedentedly high. However, the capitalists were timid, and if Japan continued to develop, the yen would inevitably hit the dollar, causing irreparable damage to their interests, so they threw the financial nuclear bomb of "stock index put futures" on the Tokyo stock market, and Japan suffered heavy losses, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, and within a month, no less than several thousand people committed suicide and jumped off buildings.

It was the turn of the USSR.

Financial oligarch Soros, together with former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul = Volcker, Citibank Vice President Anno = Rudin, and Harvard Professor Jeffrey = Sachs, concocted a "shock therapy" that killed Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union with one blow. Soros himself summed up the therapy this way: I consider that it is necessary to show that a change in the political system leads to an improvement in the economy. Poland is one place to try. I have prepared a broad set of economic reform measures, which consist of three components: monetary tightening, restructuring and debt restructuring. I think it's better to do all three goals at the same time than to do them individually. I advocate a macroeconomic debt-versus-share swap.
