Question

ince the fall of the Soviet Union, the former Soviet Republics have gone through many changes. For this question, I want you to go to http://www.learner.org/resources/series180.html and select Program 7 by clicking on the VoD icon. The first case study takes you to St. Petersberg, where you will learn a bit of its history and the issues it faces today. In the second video, you are taken to Vologda where you will see how farmers are making the transition to the "Free Market".
Answer the following: Describe some of the issues St. Petersburg and other parts of Russia, face as they make the transition to a free market economy. The second video refers to collectivized agriculture. What is meant by this and is it still in practice today? If so, why? Is Vologda part of the rich agricultural belt?

Explanation / Answer

issues and problems faced - main confronts are from militant groups and lack of capital collectivised agriculture - the lands are collected together and no private ownership of land is allowed , it is not generally practised today as private ownership tends to more production
