Lilia Shevtsova. The Regime Of Boris Yeltsin (№ 387349)

The Yeltsin still avoided a direct answer to the question about participation in the next election, although his campaign was in full swing. At the same time, the President tried to convince everyone that he is the guarantor of the survival of Russia. "I don't want power - he said. But it is necessary to avoid deviations from the path on which stood the country. This country needs strong presidential power." And further: "As we promised. 1995 was a year of stabilization. Next year will be the start time of the ascent that will continue in the future".
