Economic & Religious Renewal in Russia

President Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (restructuring) in the USSR in the mid-1980s, gave his country the opportunity for much needed reform of its ailing economy.
In this remarkable 1992 interview by Xenia Dennon of Keston College, the then leading economic expert in the USSR on western economies, Dr Alexander S. Zaichenko, treats us to a brilliant analysis of why things went so badly wrong with the USSR’s economic productivity under communism. He explains the vital relationship between the economy, standards of living, workplace productivity, personal motivation, individual morality and religious faith, all of which he describes as necessary links in an 'ethical chain'.
Dr Zaichenko’s story of his secret journey to faith can be seen on a separate video.
