One of the reasons - now used as a political cudgel - was that Russia was thrown into the extreme “free market economy” like a baby that can’t swim thrown into an ocean. A very polluted, corrupt ocean. I think there is a measure of responsibility on the Western neo-liberal circles for that, because the “advisers” quite often came from the outside.
Oh totally, we threw the country to the wolves.
