1992年伊始,俄罗斯采取了放开价格的断然措施,从而迈开了向市场经济过渡的关键性一步。这一举措立即在全国引起了强烈反应,经济界人士对此褒贬不一。俄罗斯在内外矛盾重重的情况下采取这一“不得人心的措施”(叶利钦语)必将冒巨大的政治风险,西方舆论界称叶利钦的此举是在用自己的政治生命进行一场“赌博”。 At the beginning of 1992, Russia took drastic measures to liberalize prices, thus taking a crucial step towards the transition to a market economy. This move immediately aroused strong reaction across the country, economic circles who commented mixed. Russia’s takeover of this “unpopular measure” (Yeltsin language) under the heavy internal and external contradictions is bound to take tremendous political risks. The Western media say Yeltsin’s move is a “gamble” with his own political life. .
