And where were you, Mr. Luzhkov, when Boris Yeltsin climbed the tank and rallied his people?
Mr. Yeltsin will become one of the great figures of Russian history, but it will take a long time for the historians to realize it.
God Bless you, Mr. Yeltsin. Happy Birthday.
Where was Putin?
Remember making an Icelandic President wait for him at the ladder of his aircraft for hour because he was too pissed to climb out. When he finally apeared that was a show!
Or remember when in 1994 in Berlin legless Yeltsyn grasped a baton from conductor of a German military band and started "conducting" himself singing "Kalinka"?
The only way it will be realised is if Russia turnes it's back on authoritianism FOR GOOD.
