RUSSIAN ECONOMY OVERVIEW
Resources in Russia
Despite their bad economy in the past, Russia
has many resourses. They could actually have a
growing economy. They have large deposits of
coal, oil, and gas. Russian minerals include
nickel, iron ore, tin, and gold. The southwestern
part of their country has rich grain. They have
one of the biggest fishing industries in the world.
The abundance of forests in Siberia leads to a
large export of timber. In conclusion, Russia has
a multitude of different recorses.
Its Always Tougher in Russia the
Economy is no Exception
So if Russia has all of these resources, why is their
economy bad? The answer goes far back in history.
During the 1500s, emperors known as czars ruled the
land. Ivan the IV, a czar, had total control over the land.
If people didnt obey what he said, it could cost them
their lives. Czars conquered surrounding territories. This
caused many non-Russian people to be forced into the
country. Some of the people in Russia were known as
serfs, people that worked as farmers and could be
bought or sold through the country. As you can see,
Russian economy on the past has been very tough.
Russian Rulers
Russian rulers lives contrasted greatly from the
normal people. They spoke French as well as
Russian to allow easy communication between
surrounding countries. They wore fancy,
European clothes and went to royal balls and
parties. They lived in palaces. Sounds like a
pretty good life, do you agree? It was, but with
the rulers of Russia using all of the countrys
money for their personal luxuries, the citizens
lived a poor and work-filled life.
New Changes
This period of new changes began in the late
1800s. Czar Alexander II freed the serfs. They
were able to leave the country and start a new
life. Russia began to industrialize. It changed its
economy to rely more on manufacturing than
farming. Railroads opened across the country for
transportation. This idea both changed and
helped the country.
Russias Government
While Russia improved their economy, they did not progress
politically. The citizens wanted freedom, equality, and a share in
governing the country. The strict czars ignored these commands. In
1917 Czar Nicholas II was forced to give up the throne. A man
named Viadimir Lenin was a leader in the Russian Revolution. They
set up a communist state. Now the government had a strong control
over the economy and the society as a whole. In 1922 the communist
leaders were securely in power. They formed the U.S.S.R. or the
Soviet Union. The government took complete control over the
economy. The Russians began to dislike this. Cruel punishments
such as death would occur if the Russians didnt obey the rules. The
main cause of these problems was Joseph Stalin, who was eventually
kicked out. Mikhail Gorbachev, a new and better leader took
control. He made a lot of things improve and the Russian
Government and economy began to stabilize.
Economic Regions
Russia has four main economic regions: Port
Cities, the Volga and Urals region, the Moscow
Region, and Siberia. Two main port cities are
Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg. Port Cities are
mainly used for transportation. The Volga and
Urals Region consists of the Volga River and the
Ural Mountains. The river is rich in
hydroelectric power. The mountains have an
abundance of minerals, such as bauxite.
