100% wrong. The Duma was controlled by communists throughout the entire Yeltsin presidency. What do you think the second coup was about?
The oligarchs were all former commies - Berezovsky was an interior KGB field officer. Khodorkhovsky was a prominent Komsomol leader. Those are but 2 examples.
Throughout his presidency, Yeltsin had to fight these commies who wanted to destroy Russia, because their motto is "the worse, the better for us". That is why health, education, housing, pensions, salaries were non existent and state assets stolen to enrich a few.

Do not post anything to me again, you pro-Putin KGB sob! Anything further from you will be considered stalking and will be reported.
