According to him, in the 90s, Ukraine was already going through the process of liquidating enterprises of the Soviet military-industrial complex, which turned out to be unnecessary after the collapse of the USSR.
“Today we are going through the second stage, when we also want to liquidate the fragments of the Soviet Union - mechanical engineering, chemistry, metallurgy,” notes Alexander Okhrimenko. – Logically, this is correct. For example, Yuzhmash (manufacturer of rocket and space technology. – ed.) – again a piece of the USSR. If we say that we are leaving, then we remove it. The same applies to other machine-building enterprises. They are the remnants of the USSR. We say that we are leaving the USSR and building a new economy for Ukraine.”
The future of the Ukrainian economy, the economist says, lies in small enterprises, mainly working in the assembly of imported components, and the agricultural sector.
“Some part of the population will go abroad to work,” the analyst predicts. – Thank God - let them leave, no one has canceled the export of labor. Moreover, Romania, Bulgaria, and part of the former Yugoslavia live on this. We are now quietly transforming into a different model. It will be something like the semi-Turkish model, when agriculture is more developed and there will be no mechanical engineering at all. But there will be more labor exports. We will turn into such a European country somewhere closer to Romania and Turkey.”
