Description: "Boris Yeltsin is one of modern history's most dynamic and underappreciated figures. Herbert J. Ellison establishes Yeltsin as the principal leader and defender of Russia's democratic revolution - the very embodiment of Russia's fragile new liberties, including the evolving respect for the rule of law and private property, as well as core freedoms of speech, religion, press, and political association."--BOOK JACKET.
