What is the relationship between reforms and the prerequisites for reforms?

The connection between these concepts is the most direct. Any reforms stem from the prerequisites for reforms. Reforms are almost always forced. If all is well, then nothing needs to be reformed. Let’s take a look at the examples:

1. Monetary reform under the NEP. Preconditions and reasons: complete collapse of the government’s economic policy, crisis in all areas. The Bolsheviks’ currency was worth nothing. Way out: the introduction of a gold piece, which was backed up by precious metals and government obligations, the destruction of surplus appropriation, the recognition of private capital.

2. Maintaining national currencies after the collapse of the USSR. Prerequisites: avoiding the superposition of inflation of the Union republics on the national currency and the start of their own banking systems. Exit: all republics have introduced their own currencies.
