Where is Russia going and what is happening there? This question haunts not only my compatriots. He keeps the whole world in suspense. This book is about the painful birth of democracy and the drama of the Russian parliament. This book is about personified power, about Boris Yeltsin and his entourage. And yet, this book is not about the king, but rather about the king’s retinue. This The book was written to accompany the events that have happened in Russia over the past three years. The author of the book was at the epicenter of events, he was a participant in them. Perhaps the heroes of the book will soon become the arbiters of the future of Russia, but something else is also possible - they will be washed away by the wave of the next turmoil. Stalin is in the past; Khrushchev is in the past; Brezhnev is in the past; Gorbachev is a historical fact; Yeltsin is in the present. Who's next?!
