The Fall of the USSR, Pt II
About this episode
This episode discusses the aftermath of the USSR's break-up and the resulting chaos in Russia.
The break-up of the USSR was a tough one for Russia, being the jilted republic. For the entire decade after, the country plunged into a type of controlled chaos, with a rampantly corrupt kleptocracy taking the place of the toppled socialist society.
