“…While many other emerging market economies recovered from the crisis relatively quickly, the Russian economy has for nearly a decade been mired in a recession due to its inability to attract investments and support private enterprise. A lack of inclusive institutions created an unprecedented economic inequality, caused by the institutional malfunctioning throughout the post‐Communist period (Novokmet et al ., ), and a profound inequality of opportunities, which idles potential growth factors such as human capital (EBRD ).…”
