The USSR was reputedly one of the best nations in mathematics. The research for this paper was conducted, largely through interviews and the collection of written materials, to determine if Russia will retain that distinction. The research indicated that the economic crisis resulting from the collapse of the Soviet Union has had negative but temporary repercussions, while the increase in freedom brought about by the change in government has had, and will have, positive long-term effects. Thus, Russia has retained her prestige as one of the leading nations in mathematics and the future of her mathematics education looks even more promising than her past. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Undergraduate</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
