The paper looks at the financial liberalisation policies implemented in the transitional economies of Russia and Eastern European countries (particularly Poland) after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Mistakes committed at the early stages of financial liberalisation are outlined including the quick privatization of public property and banks, failed attempts to control hyperinflation, etc. The outcomes of these mistakes are considered.
