Resource summary
Russia and the Independent Republics
Russia
More timber, oil, gold, silver, and diamonds than any other country on earth
Extracting resources from remote and rugged locations has been a problem
Problems preserving the natural environment
Transporting resources to industrial centers has been an issue
Railroad transportation moves the greatest amount of goods in Russia
Many roads, rivers, and harbors freeze over in the cold, making transportation of goods difficult
Under the Soviet system, farmland was organized into state and collective farms
Joseph Stalin's emphasis on heavy industry had negative consequences on the Soviet Union
It was difficult to obtain goods such as clothing and food in the Soviet Union
Stalin's policies made production of consumer goods a low priority
Mikhail Gorbachev's reform policies led to turmoil and dissatisfaction that resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union
Upon becoming an independent nation, Russia entered a period of transition to a market-driven economy
Economic reforms encouraged private ownership and offered greater prospects for long-term growth
