Russia’s shift from communism has produced major social problems. Throughout the federal republic, the consequences can be felt in the forms of discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ community, as well as an increase in patients with HIV and AIDS (an early twenty first century epidemic). These realities have also been evident in the creation of filtration camps throughout Chechena. Although they do not seem connected at first glance, all stem from one root issue: Russia’s transition from a collectivist economy and communist government. Having transitioned from a society that is told what to think and how to live (communism) to having a freedom to explore self (individualism), Russian citizens have struggled to transition in social construct along with a shift in governance. This capstone explores the problems involves and suggests how adequate education and religious tolerance are ways to mitigate the crisis.

Overall, Russia’s complicated politics and society have become an ongoing tale that outsiders continue to observe. The transition from communism to a federal republic has not left Russia without the consequences of economic hardship and health crises. Clearly, in order to find a path forward, it is essential that Russian officials learn from a history defined by an inability to form a consistent government and national identity. A full assessment of what has improved and what remains entrenched in a troubled history will need to occur in order to find a way to overcome a struggling economy, a legacy of corruption, and power struggles revealing a government at odds with its people.
