I made my first trip to Russia when Boris Yeltsin was president, when Russians were extremely anxious about economic insecurity and Russia’s declining influence in the world. Sadly, those feelings during Yeltsin’s up-and-down presidency tainted his image in Russia.
Here’s hoping Yeltsin is remembered more as the courageous reformer who helped to usher in a new era of peace, democracy, and international cooperation.
