The Decade in Trends
Local Russian News In English
The current decade that began on January 1, 2000 and that will end in a few days is said by many critics to have been an unexciting time for Russians, a time of stagnation characterized by its dearth of fresh ideas. This point of view, however, is contentious. New ideas can spring up at any time and under any conditions, even when the ground is frozen. And indeed, there have been new ideas that have changed the country and had an impact on the everyday life of Russians.
