The collapse of the USSR and modern times

A lot of things can be said about those same - either the "heroic 90s", or, as they are now called the dashing 90s. I got an even more suitable name for that time - this is "Russian one hundred percent business of the 90s ..." Why? And because at this time everyone who started doing business (it's easier to say buy and sell) made only those transactions where there was at least 100% fat. Someone, of course, dragged and more - from 100% to 300%. I knew a friend who in the early 90's for his products rushed 10 prices from above! In those years it was possible, because our whole country was emerging from the Soviet past, where there was an unlimited deficit, and for any goods. The warehouses had everything, but the stores were empty. Well, and of course, the mutual responsibility of party workers and red directors, who later ruined industry, agriculture and trade in the USSR.

And who could resist seeing such profits in front of him? And no one had any questions - is it good or bad? The main thing is that you can quickly and a lot to jerk the dough, splitting up state property for a penny, everything else is trifles and vanity! And since at that time we all worked part-time on shabbos for the design of visual agitation (factories, factories, collective farms and state farms - especially for any political holidays), then the arrival of the well-known 90s did not become murderous for me. Here at this time my colleagues and friends and I found ourselves right at ease. We opened the second cooperative in the city and began to engage in mediation, covering state-owned enterprises (public sector) - filling the gaps in the country's economy. A friend and I together in 91 earned our first million, or rather 3.8 million rubles. for one deal - it was a lot of money at the time.

As the bank manager told me then that this amount is enough for the salary of one large plant in the city, and for 3 months. Having received that kind of money for the first time, I immediately bought myself a car. And since it was impossible to buy a car just like that - everyone who lived at that time remembers that they had to stand in line for many, many years. But during these years there was already an alternative - it was possible to buy a car on the stock exchange. The price, of course, is different - 60% higher, but I paid, went to the base (there were no car dealerships then) and drove out in a brand new "seven". It was something! Therefore, it is somehow so difficult for me to make “claims” at that time - I “on the run” learned to trade, to produce something, to build deals in trade, realizing that this is the time of the first accumulation of capital. I didn’t have enough experience in business, although I understood perfectly well that all this really leads to the collapse of the country ... but what was there to do? Do not die of hunger! The events I described took place in the early 90s in the cities: Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk and Sverdlovsk - now it is the city of Yekaterinburg.

These photos have nothing to do with the topic of this post. These are just beautiful photos about our amazing nature of the South Urals in Russia. And even that beauty, where the genre is based on the landscape. And besides the landscape - Amazing nature. And since beauty is the foundation of all creativity, then all of these photos here are perfect to admire as you read this post. And, after reading, do not forget, friends, write something in the comments, a very interesting topic about those very 90s, somewhere one of us lived, worked or studied. Although many have only heard about these years from their parents. But memories are always beautiful. Take care of yourself, my friends - be creative, develop your intellect, live long, fun and easy. Do not forget the history of your country, wherever you live.
