In the period from 1992-2001, results were deemed disappointing but improving, and the overall rating was satisfactory with institutional development impact rated as substantial.; Ultimately this OED report concludes that an assistance strategy oriented around analytical and advisory services with limited financial support for Russia would have been more appropriate than one involving large volumes of adjustment lending, since such lending in 1996-97 may have delayed rather than accelerated needed reforms.World Bank operations evaluation study.Economic assistanceRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Economic conditions1991-Economic assistance332.1/0947Zanini Gianni1954-1870059MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968024903321Assisting Russia's transition4478383UNINA
