The Wild Nineties

The nineties of the 20th century… In our country, they were marked by so many events that they would be enough for more than one historical era. Among them were many sad and truly tragic events, but there were also occasions for joy. It was during this time that the "iron curtain" finally fell, and ordinary citizens had the opportunity to see products made abroad and learn how people live in other countries. It was then that the population was able to truly influence the political and social life of the country. It is also in that decade that the final development of freedom of expression is associated, which found its manifestation in eccentric youth fashion. All of this coexisted with wars, terrorist attacks, total poverty, and uncertainty about the future, but in such turmoil, the Russia we know today was born. Undoubtedly, the nineties are one of the most iconic periods in our homeland's history, and the fact that it ended with the words of regret and hopes for a better future, spoken in the last speech of the President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, is very symbolic.
