Privatization has increased political corruption in the former Soviet Union and the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The degree of corruption in those countries, however, is probably less than would have occurred without privatization. Certain privatization techniques, such as the liquidation of assets and mass privatization based on vouchers, seem to limit corruption, while others, such as management-employee buyouts and spontaneous privatization, apparently foster it. These economies all require further privatization. Speedy, comprehensive methods will probably prove less corrupt.

The return of Vladimir Putin does not augur major changes in relations with the U.S. or the West.
Russia watchers in the West cannot be surprised that Vladimir Putin is on his way back to the Russian presidency. Dmitri Medvedev was always his protege, and there was no doubt that major decisions could not be made without his approval. This includes signing the New START arms control treaty, cooperating with NATO in Afghanistan and supporting U.N. sanctions on Iran -- all of which should provide reassurance that Putin's return won't undo the most important accomplishments of the U.S.-Russia "reset.
