What Russian literary award was established in 1881?
It was the Pushkin award. Named after a great Russian poet A.S.Pushkin, the award ('Pushkinskaya premiya') was established by the St.Petersburg Academy of Science and was one of the most prestigeous literary awards in Russia. Awarded 23 times until it was scrapped under Bolsheviks in 1919, the Pushkin award was re-established under Boris Yeltsin in 1994 as a state literary award.
When did Russia become independent?
Russia became a democracy in 1991 under the leadership of Vladimir Putin. They changed from being a communist nation and became a democratic country with Yeltsin becoming the first president.
When did Russia become a dictatorship?
Russian Tsars, starting with Ivan the Terrible in the late 16th century, all were absolute rulers, so Russia has been under a form of dictatorship since its earliest history. You might say that only under Gorbachev and Yeltsin Russia tried to become a real democracy. Although on paper it is now a democracy, many argue that Russia's judicial and legislative branches today are again firmly under the thumb of Russia's president, making him a dictator in all but name.
How did Boris Yeltsin change Russia?
It entirely depends upon your political point of view, although in my opinion, Yeltsin was a change for the worse. The USSR under Gorbachev combined political liberalisation and an improvement in Russia's human rights along with many of the good things about Communism, i.e. equal free health care for all, universal housing, employment, public transport etc. etc. Yeltsin oversaw the destruction of all these benefits whilst doing little to take political and humanitarian freedoms much further than they already went under Gorbachev- he encouraged the collapse of most state provision in favour of rampant 'bandit capitalism', permitting millions of people to become impoverished, destitute and unemployed for the sake of constructing a market economy that allowed the rise of the oligarchs. A tiny handful of buisnessmen and entrepreneurs became colossally wealthy at the expense of the majority of ordinary people, and Yeltsin did little to allieviate their suffering for as long as it lasted. It took the attempted Communist counter-revolution of November '93, along with the collapse of the Russian economy in '98, to force him to take the welfare of the masses seriously. It's true that Yeltsin did sign some significant arms reduction treaties with the US, and also that the death penalty was abolished in Russia under his leadership, although in the latter case, this wasn't until towards the end of his Presidency.
