The life experience of the first three years of “renewed Russia” (1990–1993) needs an unbiased understanding in the broadest sense, because the new generation has already taken the place of the successors of those who were the creators and participants in historical events that sharply turned the ship called "Russia". The younger generation came to the field that their fathers had plowed and sowed. But what exactly did you sow, did weeds get into the ground along with the grains, what kind of harvest can you expect? – This is extremely important to know, and you can only find out by getting answers to the questions asked. The author Valentin Andreevich Logunov is a famous journalist and politician of the early 1990s, was elected as a people's deputy of the USSR, was a member of the Interregional Deputy Group that propelled Boris Yeltsin into big politics, worked as Deputy Minister of Press of the RSFSR; in 1990 he headed Rossiyskaya Gazeta, and in October 1993 he was dismissed from his post by Prime Minister V. Chernomyrdin with the wording “for opposing Presidential Decree No. 1400 (execution of parliament).” This book is about those difficult times of the beginning of democratic reforms in Russia, on which modern society is based.
