A lot of time has passed since the beginning of the 90s, when Yegor Gaidar’s team took on the reform of the Russian economy, but debate still rages as to how timely and correct they were. Did Gaidar save Russia from famine and civil war or were there no such risks? Was it possible to wait to release prices or was it inevitable? Were there any alternatives to Gaidar’s team and its liberal course? What really destroyed the Soviet Union? Why was the country never built a real liberal economy and the reforms were “stuck” halfway? What awaits us in the future? These and other important events from the history of Russia are discussed by the participants in the reforms of the 90s. For the first time, they openly talk about successes and failures, about the economy and power, about elections and Yeltsin and - most importantly - about the personality of Yegor Gaidar, who will forever remain the banner of these reforms.
