Is Russia on the eve of a new perestroika?
During a conference at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, Alexei Kudrin, the former Russian minister of economy, predicted changes among the Russian elite. His think-tank, the Centre for Strategic Research, intends to prepare a long-term economic development plan for Russia after 2018. The initiative is supported by Vladimir Putin, the Russian president.
"I think the elite, especially the business elite, as well as workers will soon notice that public administration, healthcare services and the justice system are inefficient,"Kudrin said, adding that he was convinced other issues would appear.
