How it was 10/11/1997 (1997)

Return of capitalism to Russia, 1983.

Before the start of privatization, another 9 years, and before the official permit for individual labor activity for another 3 years.

But the first spontaneous "capitalists" have already appeared.

On the official day of the revival of capitalism in Russia, experts consider November 19, 1986, when a law on individual labor activity was passed for nationwide discussion.

But everything turned out to be much more complicated than planned.

Already in 1990, for the first time after the Great Patriotic War, food stamps were introduced.

Nevertheless, all the most scarce food could be safely bought on the market.

With it, our market economy started.

But back in 1983.

According to the Criminal Code of the 1980s, the maximum that was supposed to be a premeditated murder without aggravating circumstances was 10 years.

The same period was average for economic crimes, most of which are now not considered crimes.

As an example, how you could suffer for the desire to feed your family normally, the case of Marina Leonidovna Danilina, convicted on December 7, 1983 by the Rybinsk People's Court under article 154 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR, is being considered for speculation.
