Yeltsin, had we supported him, was prepared to take Russia in a completely different direction
Tell ll the complete story now, and quit making it sound like it’s our fault.
The process he began oligarchs gained a majority share of national property, This hrr Ed lo create a crisis which led to Yeltsin dissolving parliament. They tried to impeach him, but troops loyal to him saved his butt. He subsequently introduced s new constitution which gave him greater powers. He ran the country by decree after that.
Your boy was no George Washington. If we had pumped Billions into Russia the oligarchs would have gotten all they could as would Putin who forced him out in short order.
You profess to be an intelligent guy, but you go to extremes to blame all of Russias issues on us. The problem with Russia is it’s run by Russians.
Quit making excuses for Russia.
