Abstract

The 1998 Russian financial crisis weakened the reformers’ argument that the misery accompanying shock therapy was temporary, and instead shone the spotlight on elites. In this atmosphere, the 1999 elections for the State Duma could have been perceived as a vote of confidence in Yeltsin’s reforms. Vladimir Putin’s assumption of the post of Prime Minister in August 1999 enabled him to appear to be an incumbent as well as a vehicle for change. Rather than articulating a clear reformist position on social welfare, the pro-Putin party, Unity (and its successor party United Russia) drafted programmes that resembled a blend of the social welfare positions, with individual elements that might appeal to various groups.

Kozlov argues, in the mid-1980s, an increase in the death rate coincided with a decline in the birth rate, trends which continued so that by 1993 the death rate exceeded the birth rate. Kozlov contends that the initial post-communist transition contributed to a sharper spike, but that the overall pattern can be traced back to the ripple effects of World War II.
