Yeltsin. Mlechin L.

Boris Yeltsin’s departure stirred old disputes about what role the first president of Russia played in the history of the country. Some say that Russia owes him freedom and democracy, others are responsible for him for chaos, corruption and omnipotence of the oligarchs. Someone admires the breadth of his nature, and someone is outraged by the power of the "family". His era is called a decade of lost opportunities, a time of great hopes and disappointments. But is Yeltsin to blame for the fact that our aspirations have not come true? About this is the new book of Leonid Mlechin.
