The attempt to realize the potential of a democratic society, laid down in August 1991, actually failed. The country received corrupt and criminal power, a thieves' economy and the power structures of a totalitarian state. The special services that did not pass through the system of democratic reforms brought to society the morals and methods generated by "real socialism" - arbitrariness and lawlessness. The punitive instrument of the Stalinist era is built into a quasi-democratic state.
