f the interferences by mankind. China has taken the natural path, and has gradually succeeded in the short time span that it has be on the market-oriented path. On the other hand, Russia, who chose to take a fast-paced approach is suffering and has not succeeded in changing. Personally, I believe that the Russian people will try to revert back to communism, but will be stopped, either by force or by will. They people will become so fed up with the hardship they endure and the conezt longing for when life was better under the red guard, that they will tr to start a revolt to go back to communism. But their attempts to go back will be defeated by either force (like Tienamin Square) or by will. The Russian economy will continue to slowly improve for about 40 to 70 years until they have reached decent ezdard of living levels. And after the improvement on the economy, they will realize that democracy will help them, and that there will be an energetic burst to further pursue democracy. I believe that China will continue to improve their industry and will attempt to maintain an iron grip on their people, but will fail. The Chinese will revolt against the suppression of their democratic rights and will try another revolt to receive their rights. If the revolt is big enough, and not isolated to one certain sector, but is dispersed nation-wide, then they will succeed. But if it is only a small group, then they will fail....
