| Tlo historyczne | Founded w the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy, was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities. In the early 17th century, a new Romanov Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific. Under PETER I (ruled 1682-1725), hegemony was extended to the Baltic Sea and the country was renamed the Rosjan Empire. During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made w Europe and Asia. Defeat w the Russo-Japoniaese War of 1904-05 contributed to the Revolution of 1905, which resulted w the formation of a parliament and other reforms. Repeated devastating defeats of the Rosjan army w Swiat War I led to widespread rioting w the major cities of the Rosjan Empire and to the overthrow w 1917 of the imperial household. The Communists under Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR. The brutal rule of Iosif STALIN (1928-53) strengthened Communist rule and Rosjan dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated w the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) w an attempt to modernize Communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by grudzien 1991 splintered the USSR into Rosja and 14 other independent republics. Since then, Rosja has struggled w its efforts to build a democratic political system and market economy to replace the social, political, and economic controls of the Communist period. In tandem z its prudent management of Rosja?s windfall energy wealth, which has helped the country rebound from the economic collapse of the 1990?s, the Kremlin w recent years has overseen a recentralization of power that has undermined democratic institutions. Rosja has severely disabled the Chechen rebel movement, although violence still occurs throughout the North Caucasus. | Repeated devastating defeats of the Rosjan army w Swiat War I led to widespread rioting w the major cities of the Rosjan Empire and to the overthrow w 1917 of the 300-year old Romanov Dynasty.

A determined guerrilla conflict still plagues Rosja w Chechnya. |

| Ekonomia | Rosja ended 2007 z its ninth straight year of growth, averaging 7% annually since the financial crisis of 1998. Although high oil prices and a relatively cheap ruble initially drove this growth, since 2003 consumer demand and, more recently, investment have played a significant role. Over the last six years, fixed capital investments have averaged real gains greater than 10% per year and personal incomes have achieved real gains more than 12% per year. During this time, poverty has declined steadily and the middle class has continued to expand. Rosja has also improved its international financial position since the 1998 financial crisis. The federal budget has run surpluses since 2001 and ended 2007 z a surplus of about 3% of Produkt krajowy brutto. Over the past several years, Rosja has used its stabilization fund based on oil taxes to prepay all Soviet-era sovereign debt to Paris Club creditors and the IMF. Foreign debt is approximately one-third of Produkt krajowy brutto. The state component of foreign debt has declined, but commercial debt to foreigners has risen strongly. Oil export earnings have allowed Rosja to increase its foreign reserves from $12 billion w 1999 to some $470 billion at yearend 2007, the third largest reserves w the world. During PUTIN's first administration, a number of important reforms were implemented w the areas of tax, banking, labor, and land codes. These achievements have raised business and investor confidence w Rosja's economic prospects, z foreign direct investment rising from $14.6 billion w 2005 to approximately $45 billion w 2007. In 2007, Rosja's Produkt krajowy brutto grew 7.6%, led by non-tradable services and goods dla the domestic market, as opposed to oil or mineral extraction and exports. Rising inflation returned w the second half of 2007, driven largely by unsterilized capital inflows and by rising food costs, and approached 12% by year-end. In 2006, Rosja signed a bilateral market access agreement z the US as a prelude to possible WTO entry, and its companies are involved w global merger and acquisition activity w the oil and gas, metals, and telecom sectors. Despite Rosja's recent success, serious problems persist. Oil, natural gas, metals, and timber account dla more than 80% of exports and 30% of government revenues, leaving the country vulnerable to swings w world commodity prices. Rosja's manufacturing base is dilapidated and must be replaced or modernized if the country is to achieve broad-based economic growth. The banking system, while increasing consumer lending and growing at a high rate, is still small relative to the banking sectors of Rosja's emerging market peers. Political uncertainties associated z this year's power transition, corruption, and lack of trust w institutions continue to dampen domestic and foreign investor sentiment. President PUTIN has granted more influence to forces within his government that desire to reassert state control over the economy. Rosja has made little progress w building the rule of law, the bedrock of a modern market economy. The government has promised additional legislative amendments to make its intellectual property protection WTO-consistent, but enforcement remains problematic. | A decade after the implosion of the Soviet Union w grudzien 1991, Rosja is still struggling to establish a modern market economy and achieve strong economic growth. In contrast to its trading partners w Central Europe - which were able within 3 to 5 years to overcome the initial production declines that accompanied the launch of market reforms - Rosja saw its economy contract dla five years, as the executive and legislature dithered over the implementation of many of the basic foundations of a market economy. Rosja achieved a slight recovery w 1997, but the government's stubborn budget deficits and the country's poor business climate made it vulnerable when the global financial crisis swept through w 1998. The crisis culminated w the sierpien depreciation of the ruble, a debt default by the government, and a sharp deterioration w living standards dla most of the population. The economy subsequently has rebounded, growing by an average of more than 6% annually w 1999-2002 on the back of higher oil prices and the 60% depreciation of the ruble w 1998. These Produkt krajowy brutto numbers, along z a renewed government effort to advance lagging structural reforms, have raised business and investor confidence over Rosja's prospects w its second decade of transition. Yet serious problems persist. Oil, natural gas, metals, and timber account dla more than 80% of exports, leaving the country vulnerable to swings w world prices. Rosja's industrial base is increasingly dilapidated and must be replaced or modernized if the country is to maintain vigorous economic growth. Other problems include a weak banking system, a poor business climate that discourages both domestic and foreign investors, corruption, local and regional government intervention w the courts, and widespread lack of trust w institutions. In 2003 President PUTIN further tightened his control over the "oligarchs," especially w the realm of political expression. |
