The Wild Nineties

The nineties of the XX century… In our country, they were marked by so many events that it would be enough for more than one historical era. Among them were many sad and truly tragic moments, but there were also... reasons for joy. It was during this time that the "iron curtain" finally fell, and ordinary citizens had the opportunity to see goods produced 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. And it is this decade that is associated with the final development of freedom of expression, which manifested itself in eccentric youth fashion. All this coexisted with wars, terrorist attacks, total poverty, and uncertainty about the future, but in such agony, the Russia we know today was born. Undoubtedly, the nineties are one of the most significant periods in the history of our Motherland, 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.
