A special country. She ran from above. Start september 16th on d, w. Ah, ah. 1991. Up to 74 years of communism, the russian people with tasting democracy. The man embodying a new era was president boris. Nikolai of each, he had said, the former soviet communist official had left his party weeks behind and become a radical reformer. Ah, but give them my fee. Lovely idea, right beyond the idea of live, you know what brand new love for you. I all know what i was in the morning. Give me the lawyers pavilion ah, riding on a wave of Popular Support and with the armies blessing yeltsin from us to lead his people into a brighter future. Some are gone down. No, jim, with someone my father gave people the most important thing to go to freedom for park, and i had a me, the years of his presidency, our synonymous with his, the sacrifice for the country. Ah, he said, neither his own hel nor his standing or his family. He should be. And nothing was more important to him than putting russia on the cart of change and ending communism in this country. It buck which is common use mama with the strength. Ready new jets in liberalized the economy by forcing through changes that at the same time left a lot of his people in poverty with many wishing to turn back the clock, a communist candidate was fancy to win the president ial election short for june. 1996. Thus thrashed, la fare was rampant in the kremlin. I bolster us the oxen himself was not afraid only by you, but everyone else was really afraid of anybody else. The struggle against the communist saw the kremlin rushes new entrepreneurs and western powers. Joining forces determined to have yeltsin reelected whatever the cost. This is the story of the most involved and bitter Election Campaign in russian history with 1995 Boris Yeltsin was tired and sick, making any occasional appearances in the kremlin. And even then only for a few hours publicly and privately, hed lost his old dynamism, the one time man of the people now merely the aging head of a clan and his lucille. Well no wireless sir. We were all worried about the election. My father was exhausted from his 1st term, had been very hard with one crisis after the next. You can use the radio gear war sausage. His popularity had dropped by the end of 1995. It was at rock bottom of us that are his approval rating. Was may be 3 or 4 percent. Salina will get very close to the door for the reason. Yeltsin had wanted a rapid transition to a market economy resulting in mass unemployment and devastating inflation. The state could no longer pay Public Sector salaries and pensions. So the new rule, gruesome, good gospel for open momento, but just fall off. Ah, it was only a few steps from crisis to catastrophe that the burst of g d p had fallen for 6 years in a row, for the problem went far beyond backpack and the states lack of money, ensuring a lot of people no longer had any source of income during the scholarship, it was the same with the military for digital doors, a social earthquake was looming, colossal millions had lost their jobs and social standing there. Mila disrupting mil offered a particular a bottle with aristotle shot with crime exploding in hopes of a new freedom, seemingly dashed russians blamed yeltsin, who was also involved in a dirty war. After having promised to quit victory or the chechen separatists, now he was responsible for thousands of fatalities. Im ashamed of the president. Stop the war and get rid of yeltsin red. The banners of protest as the president remained silent in light of his disastrous record, he even hesitated to run for reelection at the risk of leaving the field to communist candidates. 6 months before the president ial election, the successor to the soviet communist party won a majority in parliament. Its lead a good 92 gun off was seen as the clear favorite for the upcoming election. I got that all the moment below. No no, no, no, no on that you did not want to know the unit on the level that was the record. Nobody knew impala wondering about them. Oh oh. Oh sure. She knew what we felt we were facing absolute disaster. You going off to cough in the pause frederick and we had less than 6 months left under paula cordon was fellowship and patricia miss all shamar so felt really to source and shifting between paralysis and panic. We just wanted out. Of course, all the russia of sharita begin. So really what were putting australian lawyers, heart attacks and bypass surgeries repeatedly, forced yeltsin to take extended periods of time off and profiting from the power that came was his old guard led by alexander cordial. Cough head of president Security Service, along with deputy Prime Minister all exhaust corvettes and the head of the secret service. Michelle bazooka, of course, a coffee formed discreet hour cartel, facing the communist thread. They sought support from another faction. Bankers, a small circle of individuals who understood how to use yeltons radical liberalization policy for their own ends. Not less severe cuz were less than that one computer. We followed the standard path of the russian economy that warmly. We started with trade stub because you dont need factories and machines public. We just graduated from university and had nothing gotten 11, oops, and you become sick with a little golightly or then we realized that trade needs capital. Nice. Except we had not dollars and the easiest way to get capitals was to open in your bank listening blank. No mean you move um you could be shopping on the door and if not a minute. When i started my bank, i had 50000000. 00 in us. It was slows. It was the girl girl is goes with will go to me. The social no. There was no group of contacts, no business community, just a number of people whose paths kept crossing. I was, it was the launch, it is, it was mainly through come and contact just a good that it wasnt possible to build up 1000000000 dollar empires without the state 1000000 mean bidding in business for just an example. Okay. Poca chop was among the 1st millionaires to be received in the kremlin, where yelled since old god was seeking supporters for the upcoming elections. Clearly of c, absolute law schools must have rosena. Everyone was talking in the kremlin is tentatively and doubtful. What can we do to get yelton reelected . Kirk, he is the law. Ah, stuffy, sure. London through your portal, you can call the menu several times. You mean corsica . Was there very active and of course sauce competitive. Basically yeltons whole got evil and then we thought age, why not reach out of business . You must summarize. I asked them, what do you expect from Business People business to stay. They said that they show solidarity and responsibility trucks that they understand the field in loses the communists will put them all in jail. For up against the wall least im a shifted most if possible, 3 posters to loud communion. The bankers didnt take the threat to seriously, but sense that the kremlin concerns could be very profitable for them. Yeltsin urgently needed money to pay salaries and pensions. They wanted access to russias natural resources, oil, nickel, and coal. So they proposed a deal. The cream of the industry in exchange for fresh capital. Mm. The site was granted. Loans with the bank is getting shares in return a process known as privatization. Mm. Sure. Currently as locally issued through by the most suitable stock ticket. Im a nasty and cunning man. I this is agreed that wed get the money before the elections of that and the relevance assets would be transferred off to wagging her hip. And i said, dear oligarchs, think morgan, theyll give us the money to run, but they wont get anything back yet. Washing out that they will one year from now is agreed to saul, but only if yelton remains president , she woke up with preserved local use of what he of company did. You want then cabinet minister Anatoly Tobias did not say, and not every one in the kremlin understood was that the state was effectively being loan its own money. Got up a little bit, the nozzle which of the school. When i heard about this, i could see the logic and the banks were lending their depositors money. Bankruptcy and the depositors were largely state owned enterprises. Left with the private sector, had hardly any money as boucher. All the liquidity available came from the finance ministry from customs duties from the Oil Companies feel which had been privatized with, didnt come by, gives them a good through, does your earliest as good a new year started . Begley maloneys thought in for me, there was some in criminal about it stories. I was afraid that after the elections, even if yelton one, yes, we would have to answer for it to produce. So it was criminal, can malone . It wasnt privatization roster, but misappropriation of state, as actually lou or brewster, its a bullet as he shania listings that this obs listed who is gather together with them. Both of them is discovered. Sure. Cook, we also try to bid on one of these privatization, but nothing came of him, so well choose ok. And so we missed out on that historic opportunity that were whether thats when its her chance is that each year in business. Yeah. So it came to be that a dozen men took control of roughly half of the nations assets. The word oligarch appeared in the press for the 1st time that winter, 6 months before the president ial election, as millionaires became billionaires, while the people were left empty handed yet and endeavored to douse the rising flames. By dismissing the packs all such vice while being weary of perverse in the privatization process, his rivals, yukon of publicly, criticized to move at the World Economic forum in davos, 5 months before the election. The communist party leader took to the stage with a decidedly anti capitalist message. Mister zagan off, would you support a re constitution of the soviet union . Ah, its good, good, any of so okay, but just get the g. You can see how much support there is for this idea, the amended the u. S. C. Has been practicing privatization for almost a 100 years through studios, and were supposed to catch up in the space of 2 years old boy thought a simple truth has been forgotten, hopelessly privatization, but it is, of course, to make her company work better. Look through the chief corresponding prophets. So the word privatization is out of place. But in that long but it with you here in simple mrs. Bruce, and destroys the production base, or you are a little trainer or a lot in there, but you can off to be on the International Stage was the success for yeltsin and the front as the 1st post cold war president , he saw the west is his domain, and the key ally in the upcoming election, he immediately called his american counterpart bill clinton. Mm. I had to remove tobias. I was not in a good position to keep him in my campaign. I guarantee that the course of reform and democracy was that you may have heard that even the i m f has brought this rubbish about to change no reform course. I still laid their payments of 9000000000. 00. I hope you might push them a little. You know, i support you, ill see what we can do. My intention on february, the 15th is to announce my desired campaign, but this is off the record work i used to grow, the felt beginning a graphically barely wait till id. Just g. Darcy, bow where you go follow because they are food for go ahead a form that be like on 3rd up is that always the officer . He preferred it was more bay, but there is a point that our balcony wavy is my brown authority. Presumably, buffalo de boy a caught up, well just go with our thalburt program, give appeal to him. Abel. Prima a Financial Aid was not long coming. The day after his announcement, yeltsin received german chancellor. Helmut kohl in the kremlin usa pepper we were afraid or the west was afraid. Hyper cole, in particular, was very afraid of having to deal with a new personnel at the head. There was an unconditional interest. As lawyers say that under no circumstances would any one other than yelton become president , ask us you dont want to remit practical shows dot to yet sin. And one thing i wanted to ask has to do with the i m f. Loan of 9000000000. 00. Ill be meeting, come to sue, and would like to ask you to use your influence to perhaps had a little between 9 and 13000000000 to deal with social problems in this very important pre election situation and help people. I support concluding a new agreement. Ill do some work on it. The king dont are the jackal regions and understood very well. The limits of, of the i m f katie. And he never tried to force me into doing anything. She emma, for cinema. Where you go, e n, a posse be did, says pseudo alpha, we saw an opportunity to finally bail the country out. Now we saw that it had been following the rules for years. Yeah. Managing its economy as it should do, despite all the structural floors. It dont. So it was our duty to complete the 3 year plan and easy to program. This was on it. Dont macabre us a you see, hopefully i see you soon. Good. Although the rip of this, youre the media, the dodo thought, was 10000000000. 00 or the 3 years i said you, of course i was right, just commentators immediately scream to 10000000000. 00 for russia right before the elections. Its a political cou, put the i m f has no right on that. Come to sue, is campaigning for yeltsin right there and i found it wonderful sir. There was a suit vote her. Yes, in. Knew never but dont talk soon, but the only choice we had was to support this plan in the had not let the coming election stop us. I guess if you do not doing what we did, we did not have been neutral. It would have been giving our vote tissue gone off, so a devoted for procedure enough. As the campaign circus rolled on, the candidate of the people seemed to be denied ease. Youre gone of 20 points ahead of yeltsin in the polls. The incumbent president. He to weigh in the kremlin, refusing to get involved in the Election Campaign. He loathed western style theatricals, and kept the press at a distance. Yet some left preparations to the old guard with their tried and tested methods. Surveillance and coercion does a roster along the nursery hall with the old girl just as well but immovable. Understand that none of these people had experience in running an Election Campaign. After the 10th meeting with south cordette senior, i knew he had no idea what was staples of bringing up as thought will absolutely be matched. Windowed lube was the girl. No, no. The concierge. After each session that came usual drinking, they all said what was on their mind, which was pretty straightforward on us. We had the k g, b, the interior ministry, the army or what else to we need. We have the government, we have the kremlin for those really were there argument level larger than the such the city that louise ah, now in february 1996, 4 months before the 1st round of voting yeltsin stayed true to his thinking and relied on the power of the presidency, the oligarchs feared this might not be enough. By now they controlled the most Important Media outlets in the country and close ranks. The oligarchy were ready to throw their resources into the arena, provided they had a man in the kremlin to watch out their interests. In the new Campaign Team was headed by Anatoly Tobias, a former deputy Prime Minister under yeltsin. What is nicolette yell . Since all business would say everythings great, were 100 percent behind you for business said if nothings good, such him to cut us off here the young lady, but as negotiable, anybody of my, anybody else in was shocked on. He said, your numbers, ronnie, the polls are good on their well them, which powers know the socio logistics. What of human intelligence . Thats all they have no idea about sociology or their liars and hideous authority. And i me tell you, or you want to hear up change or so again, you primary principal words much of the cancer was what if you will grant with a you order with a run though, dollars of almost what was ugly, the bankers couldnt believe the old gods incompetence, said a pu could shaft, decided to bring in political campaigning experts. Tactful jewels store job share swaim in louisiana america. I spoke with friends in the u. S. I cited selection time here and maybe you know, some bright people who know what kind of balloons will need and what to write on them when you decide he execute damage or rather frobisher and what kinds of fireworks we need. So people start liking this president daniel as well, but he didnt think of rosalie canoe bit bit better in washington d. C. President bill Clintons Campaign manager saw an opportunity youre talking about a country that had the ability to blow up the world. There were 2 at the consequential that, that not fall into the hands of the communist. I propose to clinton that he ask yeltsin to hire my former business partner, guy named dick dresser. He said that way, dressing, it will do the polling for yelton and dressing. It will show me, his poli, ill bring it to you in the white house each week. And you tell him, well figure out what you need to tell yelton. 3 and a half months before the election. Dick, tracing his team arrived in moscow on a confidential mission. Yeah, absolutely. Of how to put them in the Hotel President. So tell me what they could come up with for us to go on. You normally deal with the american advisors oclock down to work meetings. So gay pooler chalk, who they called the all powerful bank up, they were given an initial quarter of a 1000000. 00 to make sure forest remains the most powerful man in russia. By friday, you guys will be working in moscow with proven to return of totalitarianism to mother russia. They shove a couple of primitive polls at us and basically few shows. Yelmans now at 5 to 6 percent of the vote. Running about 20 points behind the leading candidate, which was the communist candidates gone off and running 56. 00 and not very clear that he could even make the run off. On the 11th floor of the hotel, president the team did what theyd learned in the us. Organizing podium discussions with voters, but early feedback was disastrous in saint petersburg, they hated him for the war in chechnya. With insurance dam that yeltsin, hes not a person, hes a murderer. Bloody me are they blamed him for corruption. For if he also continues, we will have a mafia. Government were alarmed, yeltons old got proposed a different scenario. You have to still go, did you get the summer in sElection Campaign sheet or like south of yet and the head of his security team. Alex on the course of i strongly action, but owning the election really do, which was odd is doris may just unless you thought so, why did you stop sublist at alaska yet . I was supposed to be organizing the campaign normally. But now wanted to postpone me an option good. You didnt more say dish route, but however, the real logo were postponing the election was the right move in 2 years. We would have had stock of yeats or someone else ready. Whoever was older cause you caused plans for a borderline to attempt. The bankers saw their interest threatened. Yet since different packers were on a collision course. While the president took a backseat, eager to capitalize on the vacuum, the communists went on the offensive with their majority in parliament, the communists and know the legal and political agreements that had dissolved the soviet union. A direct assault on yelp, since legacy. Youre still with us here. Here a little for a quarter or yeltsin started calling everyone for the attorney general to the day. Because the president s of the Supreme Court and of the constitutional court, the federal Security Service director, pieros the Prime Minister, the deputy Prime Minister made some of the defense minister with the interior minister to the cure mormonism. One group i did without though you pull scratch, but he did, he said dont allow the members of parliament he tomorrow monday, middle draw measures to pound the communist party to have the communist m. P. s arrested his though and postponed the election to yes. Will i will sign the decrease or the get ready yet . Been assured that we were another war. The wooded lucas. But listen, you did the good both this yeah, yeah, but im the glasgow yeltsin. I reported cl since so, but everything is prepared so you can relieve me at my post. Your decree will be carried out, but it will have serious consequences. But there will be a civil law. Lets just say, garage does go enough. Serena lordship silence our dea muslims convenience in the quinn. I went into his office leave at about 10 meters from the door to the desk when my father was sitting them in here. When he saw me, he guessed it was bad news. I urged him to talk to you by such so born to get us to bison, your love beach richard conversation became heated. I said we believed you and we followed you on was over. We stood with you in august 91 and in october, 93. There are millions of us you also that you are betraying us where i the boss would endure among will nasa mano it . Yes. You da still look at austin. I thought it would be a disaster in the country and the outs in one pretty sure he would bring down everything his done in the years before blue shield and violate his own constitution. I was absolutely against it. Good interest to deal with news. For a few days of hesitation, yeltsin decline, the authoritarian option. The elections would go ahead as scheduled. And a woman now emerged from the shadows to enter the political arena. 3 months before the election, yeltsin daughter, tatiana jenko, took control of the campaign, setting up camp in the Hotel President , across the hall from the american advisers. Once coffee are mutually president hotel, entire campaign moved with president hotel. She said, you know, i dont know what to do with all these groups, but we want you to be advisors to family. Their advice, go negative, discredit the communists and a vote. The darkest days of the soviet union, civil war, repression and gulags. And the message on the go positive front was reconnecting with the people. George suggested stage crows for yeltsin to be seen with. Tatiana wanted real crowds. That yanna is an idealist. She wants things to be honest. So clinton called yelton, i believe on hartline. Explain the concept that you need to get out there personally and campaign. Explain what pressing the flesh meant. That chair, actually to be there and be in touch with people. And kind of gave him a premier on politics. And yeltsin started to do that. Oh. The president s daughter was ever present while staying in the background. Unlike her mother nie nina, who is happy to be sent to the front line. I said, yes, youre with somebody with accompanied by team of doctors yeltsin embarked on an arduous race to catch up in the pulse with every percent each point taking its toll you can of was reveling in his role is the end to yeltsin. Throughout the spring, the communist was considered a sure bit about my president , the united them. This is rhonda gafne. Id like to quote the communist night may yeltsin once again look to his friends in the west. He convinced clinton and the other g 7 members to meet in moscow. 6 weeks before the 1st round of the election. A p r triumph, his impoverished country, looking like a superpower, clinton and yeltsin discussed the situation. I think this Nuclear Summit will help you a great deal. Ordinary people will see that youre doing the right things. They will out 10 percent. My vote. You know, youre a factor in this campaign bill. I do want to Say Something that could be used against you. I want to russian people to know how much the American People support rushes, commitment to democracy and to reform. And weve learned from our history that building a thriving democracy is not easy or automatic. But russia is making dramatic progress. Please understand me correctly, bill, for my Election Campaign, i urgently need for russia alone of 2500000000 dollars. Yeltons political instincts were back, as he borrowed wests money and campaign methods. With the election rapidly approaching, yeltsin barely rested, traveling through all 11 russian time zones. He also made highly symbolic appearances before the tv cameras support from the Russian Orthodox church and peace in checks. Now, after negotiating a ceasefire, yeltsin immediately flew to grossly for a stage troop visit. Yes, id be so. So for the 1st time, the communist now started to worry. Nelsons campaign was threatening the prism to victory left, but a more defeat again. Vish ciocca thorough mitchell of a new church near julia could dora nibble no, no it be sure that youre more addressed she to it. No spook, no. Over the western empty glass not do much up. Stoney or you said earlier, less stone. If you were free financing store, put new, or would it or about the to serious the most in from outside his mouth of the review. Yeah, we body, but hes again, but i she will soon for a grow vote or lose in the final weeks, yeltons campaign was more like a constant barrage. The slogan was adopted by pro yeltsin pop stars and music roach. I was organized to mobilize the young, a direct imitation of clintons, choose all his campaign in 1992. No voucher cast vladimir donations mission enough, got zanna gretsch, nova ross is a list of attend sky raw stuff. Oh, oh. The wide world might have sculpted such images, but a week before the election, the obvious message was that yeltsin was alive and kicking pezora shipper. It was too embarrassing to vote. Can you imagine a monarch or president dancing . I was shocked yet. A quote i said to tatiana, oh, youre killing your father. Theres not much left of him anyway. Dont you do the talk . So sim, of, despite cause you cause protests, nothing was going to stop this Communications Machine now, right up to the climax. The final Campaign Event in front of the kremlin the ms. Judith renewable of this feature lifecycle. Menilli ever only got what they wanted to combine it with money from the budget was spent on the Election Campaign or the ve the same money that had been used for privatization. Thats how it was more misappropriation of status, edible, or proposing homes. Cousin was cousin together, multiple daughter, it was all gold hope, so im still looking for money that might fill the states empty coffers or finance Election Campaign. The kremlin offered a new gift to the bank, has one and a half 1000000000. 00 in government Balance Sheet far below value and immediately re sold what was it . Just to last, brazil is the one we were asked to find some kind of tax credit for some companies that we were working with was at the expense of some government securities as the shrubs could give her guess versus on that woman. Does she have on close to good . It would probably got her suitably imagine youre offered upon loose or 100 rubles, youre all good at it. And then imagine youre offered a bond worth a 100 rubles for the price of 20. 00 rubles to death. Then youd say, fantastic. I can resell it right, youre 90. I was the eunice at a millennia cow with a task as it is. It was a neat little scheme contrived to use the difference between the tax debt and the value of those bonds now local to fund the campaign. So that was, it was the should chest if there isnt super finance here, a global in the company. What the ship should have. Yes. Well that did happen. Its hard for me to talk about because i was responsible for the Campaign Budget company that was the donors on the income side, the horde much and then the expenses side by showing him the complex system. Richest yamato shrink drip. And then when they were maybe the commissioners or the board, we must have received some kind of commission for this deal. When i dont remember that we did it, but we must have had a material interest in these transactions. And we werent naive after all that the young for all the highly polished propaganda, the race remain tight. On election night, the 2 rifles held their breaths and the result was close. Yeltsin 35 percent. You got enough 30 to the king maker in the 2nd round will be retired. General alexander, livid with ford, 14 and a half percent yelton took the communists by surprise. A point in levered chief of National Security with the transfer of his votes. Victory would essentially be secured. Then alexander, cause your coffee, yeltsin, staunch loyalist decided to make an old daisha smooth coma euro. Who are we electing a couch potato of course. 3 days after the 1st round, cause you cough had 2 members of anatoly to biases, team arrested as they left the president ial Administration Building with a cardboard box. You can totally switch into. There was 530000. 00 in that box. And how much had been stolen before to bias and barry shops did nothing about it. They were all thieves. Number in the middle of the night, she pious went to see Ali Kirk Boris brozowski, who in turn called to president store. So i know for you, i spoke with the most welcome, which was a shocking and major blow to the Election Campaign just like that behind the scenes and carried out by the president ial Security Service. Last year. President , close, you are most of the home, but you know, it was vital for tatiana to be there because in case there were further araselis, though. If they could arrest me, they could arrest others whitish. Yeltons daughter, dont know why shell yeltsin was asleep and unaware of the developments. Hoping to avoid the traps set by the old guard. Tatiana to chain co called her mother. When youre not going to confront him, you can, you put me at the property thats so you must go to the company. You must you may want to stay you know, going to the young lady what youve been doing if you could do it the previous bill, isnt it so that plays scary. Its not showing. Its fair. The bed of the chinese food is a procedure. The cause of the oligarchy had prevailed, but a week before the 2nd round, yeltsin canceled all engagements. I took my initials, which youll see a factor of musical told me it began. My father had another heart attack. It was the disaster. Rosa one, wed actually been planning to step up the campaign effort, but you cant do that without that. The candidate ah, a cook at the marseilles deal, biskin good that ah, on television, yet since teen continued to bang the anti communist drama communities with you. Sure, it wasnt because of regular sounds great. You could just look good. When you book watching a comfort mccord of the board printed assuring, i felt very uncomfortable about the decision not to tell the voters about the heart attack, but it was black or chilling. The light re forward will still back quite mosquito. Live manasseh. You both. Im gradually jo, shipped so i still think it was the right decision, ethically. It was rice, you were the sure, but you were to with when it is about a matter of life or death, you more my youre like the bulls deal that were prostate. A communist had come to power. That would have been civil war. And a lot of bloodshed, and im still sure about that. Well get him on the sea for yeltsin was re elected with 54 percent of the vote. And now prepared for major heart surgery. Clearly b e o d a. Oh yes. Ah. Oh, youre really not that yet. It was hard to bear the butcher seeing him at the yoga ration book. He came into the chamber for only a minute or 2. The oven is very hoarse voice, and he manage just the one sentence and was, i swear to be the laws of the Russian Federation . Athens called for Something Like that. He was obviously very ill risk. If you had said that that would suit. He will be mrs. Goober publish it. Ah right after the ceremony, the oligarchy didnt seem too worried about yeltons health. As for elections, they would arguably be the last to merit the name. After having helped to bring democracy to russia in order to remain in power, that same men had now severely compromised it with as though when you arrive, as you own private property. Thats how it happened to. So its a complex process that not everyone likes to. Theres no way around the interruption. Easy to switch it. Im firmly convinced that russia broke the back of the communists in business in 1995 and in politics in 1996. And with the help of the bon sales, you do not just bump it alone, crib commercial, but ah, directly, that was the original sin night. How many years have they been feeding on this yeast .
