Features: This book focuses on introducing dozens of influential figures active in the Russian political arena, who have had and continue to have a significant impact on the founding and reform processes of Russia. Through the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of these individuals, it presents a historical picture of Russia during the Yeltsin era. This volume specifically selects groups of individuals who exerted significant influence during that time: they may be high-ranking government officials who brought stability to times of chaos, party leaders who maneuvered in politics, powerful inner-circle officials, regional "kings," wealthy tycoons, or military leaders engaged in constant campaigns. With their thoughts and actions, they influenced the course of the era. They are not only the history of the Yeltsin era but also an extension of today's reality. To study the Yeltsin era, one must first understand the mainstream groups of that time.
