The book is devoted to the problems faced by authoritarian regimes in polyethnic states, whose economy largely depends on the unpredictable fluctuations in fuel and energy resources. This problem is relevant for modern Russia, and the author explains what mistakes admitted by the Soviet Union should not be repeated. The uniqueness of the book is that Yegor Gaidar first clearly shows how collectivization policy that ruins our agriculture predetermined after sixty-to-one years accelerated collapse of the Soviet regime, which de facto began by that time bankrupt. What was the real economic situation in the externally mighty superpower, whether the collapse of the USSR was absolutely inevitable, was it possible to dismantle the Soviet system somehow otherwise and why the Chinese or Latin American path of transformations was impossible in Russia - the answers to these questions you will find in "the death of the empire"
