Ekonomicko-politická transformace vybraných postsovětských zemí (Rusko, Ukrajina)

Former USSR countries, excluding Baltic countries, continue to fight the political and economic problems. The countries are in process of transition from centralized to market economy which deemed to be highly complex. The aim of my diploma is to evaluate the process of transition of Ukraine and Russia and their current political and economic situation. The key element for successful transition were 90’s when the new state and new legislation were formed. Such transition period was characterized by privatization of state properties. The underdeveloped banking sector is still heavily influenced by government representatives. Business climate and environment that is important for the economy is still struggling with corruption. The countries are currently experiencing common political problems. Due to the Ukrainian crisis and sanction imposed on Russia, both countries have experienced a decline in economy. The level of transformation stagnates also due to continuously high level of corruption in the judiciary and government sectors. Slow development is caused by insufficiently rapid and effective reforms in both countries which are being hampered by certain groups of people. The political and economic transformation of Russia and Ukraine has not yet reached the level of Central and Eastern European countries.
