. A democratic and dictatorial figure. Under his rule, Russia had a dismal political situation and a mess of economy, but he was able to be re-elected as president. He was in power for eight years. Although he was critically ill many times, he always firmly held the power of the country. This is a unique Yeltsin phenomenon in Russia.

In a word, Yeltsin was unable to get the country out of trouble and out of crisis. Last year, he listed five charges when impeaching the president, which, although not passed, exceeded half of the votes in parliament.

However, it is such a person who was able to rule for eight consecutive years and finally received the majority in the presidential election. He was re-elected as president. Although he was critically ill many times, he still firmly grasped the power of the state and defeated one opponent after another. This is indeed a rare pump in Russian history.

Comparing Gorbachev, one can see that in terms of economic situation, the Yeltsin era was much worse than the Gorbachev era, and in terms of domestic political life, Yeltsin, as the national dollar, acted much more dictatorial than Gorbachev. In terms of national policies, Yeltsin could not tolerate any ethnic separation at all, but Gorbachev allowed republics to be independent.

When people talk about the reasons for Gorbachev's failure, they often blame his economy for not being well developed, not having enough democracy, and improper handling of national issues. So, why can Yeltsin, who is worse than Gorbachev, support him?

Yeltsin had a strong personality, dared to take risks, dared to take risks, and had a continuous success on the road of adventure during his eight years in power. A person's character played a certain role in history. It can be said that Gorbachev was indecisive and constantly broke down, which was one of the reasons for his failure in reform.

However, relying solely on strong character is obviously not enough to ensure the success of reforms, and more convincing explanations should be found.

To answer this question, it is necessary to look at the system established by Yeltsin, the power he relies on, his allies, the slogans and measures he uses to attract voters, the status of his opponents, etc.

The regime and political system established by Yeltsin is a transitional system. The source of this regime is the Soviet regime. Such a regime inevitably has a lot of shadows from the old era, and its overall structure has obvious imprints from the Soviet era.

The rank of presidential system replaced the general secretary system, but the system where the general secretary had the final say still exists. The Politburo no longer exists, but people can feel the shadow of the Politburo everywhere in the President's Office. The government and the Soviets obey the Politburo and the General Secretary's command, which is still visible everywhere in the relationship between Yeltsin's government and the Duma and the President. The operating mechanism on which Yeltsin's rule relies does not deviate from the old one.

Russia implements a rank-level presidential system, the president has unlimited power, and the entire regime is a president-centered structure, which forces the administration, legislation and the judiciary to obey the president's will.

This system has a reasonable basis for the existence of this system in Russia. In an era of great social changes, strong and iron-fisted figures are needed, otherwise nothing will be achieved. But relying on one person to manage the country, especially a big country like Russia, will obviously not work in the long run, because power needs to be restricted.

Economic privatization destroyed the state ownership of the Soviet Union, thus completely destroying the foundation of the Soviet Union. Privatization also caused serious polarization in society, with nearly half of the residents below the poverty line, and at the same time caused a group of new atrocities and billionaires. Russia began to have a middle class, and the new bureaucratic comprador and middle class were the class basis on which the Yeltsin regime relied.

But after Putin came to power, the Yeltsin phenomenon will surely end, and the Yeltsin system cannot continue intact. The president's power will be reduced. The parliamentary democracy, market economy, federal system, and the policy of building a strong country will be waiting to continue and be gradually improved.

Since Putin came to power, although Russia's economy has been in a mess, it has changed well compared to the previous situation. In fact, the turning point of the economy's stop falling and rebounding has appeared in the second half of 1996. Although it was interrupted by the global financial crisis, it recovered by the second half of the previous year, and the upward trend last year has been relatively obvious.

After Putin took over, of course, he further promoted the economic revival, but more importantly, he was lucky that he not only caught the storm of stopping the decline and rebounding that was generally experienced by transition countries, but also happened to encounter the rise of oil prices in the international market. The effect of the depreciation of the ruble after the 1997 crisis has begun to show.

To be honest, Putin is a good player in politics, but Fan Wubing doesn't agree with his economic insights.

Putin's prime minister is good at economic management, but from now on, the relationship between the two is not good, and it is very likely that they will part ways or become life-and-death rivals.

Fan Wubing also considered that with Putin's character, he obviously could not tolerate the current situation of the two state-owned masters for one or two days. Yeltsin's totalitarianism had a greater impact on him, and the economic turmoil in the Yeltsin era also made Putin intentionally strengthen his control over state-owned enterprises to reduce the influence of financial oligarchs against the regime.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly?

Putin now needs Fan Wubing’s strong financial support, so he can take action against domestic financial oligarchs, especially those who have a covetous desire for their own regime, and suppress them.

After more than ten years of development, these financial oligarchs have already had an astonishing amount of wealth in various parts of Russia. Without the support of large funds, Putin will find it difficult to rely on the power of the country to successfully subdue them. However, the reason why he did not consider lending to Western countries to complete this matter is that he has to borrow privately from Fan Wubing. What he values ​​is that transactions with Fan Wubing are purely exchanges of commercial interests and there is no political demand. If he borrows from Western countries, he will be easily subject to elbows. It is difficult to estimate what happens in the future.

Simply put, it was the Yeltsin era that fattened a large number of financial oligarchs. After these people had Zai, they really regarded themselves as emperor. After Putin took over, they felt that these fat sheep had forgotten what they were. He wanted to raise a butcher knife to kill pigs and sheep, but someone needed to deal with the aftermath of the massacre, so they came to Fan Wubing, a rich man.

"Then, I am willing to abstain from the President to accomplish this feat." After thinking about it, Fan Wubing felt that the profit contained there was indeed very large. Russia is not comparable to a small country like Indonesia. The source of fees here can be said to be heart-pounding. Although Putin could not do anything to sell the country, it is possible to exchange such things, especially in terms of oil and gas field resources, which is really tempting.

After hearing Fan Wubing agreed to this matter, Putin was very happy and asked, "When can we get there? I hope the sooner the better!"

"President, I am frank, your economic skills seem to be less wise than politically. If you want to use the smallest price to achieve the best results, you might as well use a specialized business team." Fan Wubing suggested to Putin, "Our company has a professional financial management team, who is good at financial conspiracy, especially calculating such a large enterprise group. If you have this need, I can give you a 20% discount on the service fee to ensure that it is worth the money and use the smallest price to make the other party's company bankrupt. What do you think?"

After listening to Fan Wubing's introduction, Putin was stunned for a while. He did not expect that there was such a type of financial service in the world. He had only said that Fan Wubing was a giant in the financial world, but he didn't know that they had actually added the company that plotted against others to the service charge type and sold it to the outside world.

"This kind of business...will anyone be interested?" Putin asked after a long pause.

"It's very popular, and our staff is very tight." Fan Wubing replied with a smile. "In fact, this kind of business requires relatively high quality of personnel, high integrity, and a large demand. We usually only serve as regular customers."

Putin wanted to refuse directly. But then he thought about it, it seemed that his financial opponents were indeed not easy to deal with, so he changed his words, "Okay, if you need it, I will contact you as soon as possible."

In terms of resource cooperation, Putin seemed to be more generous, and the conditions proposed by Fan Wubing were not outrageous, so an agreement was quickly reached. However, in terms of the transfer of large aircraft motor technology, it seemed to be hesitant and it was difficult to form a consensus for a while. This obviously involved a technical threshold issue.

Because Putin knew that once the Chinese master the key technologies of large aircraft motives, the overall space power will be greatly improved, which is something he did not want to see. After all, there are territorial disputes between China and Russia and a very long border. Once China's military strength increases beyond Russia's expectations, it will bring greater national defense pressure to Russia.

Fan Wubing said in response to this point: "The main tone of today's world is peace. The Chinese have fought for more than a hundred years and are unwilling to fight again. Besides, you have so many advanced nuclear weapons, so what do you still need to worry about us?"

Putin hesitated for a long time and did not make a decision. Later, Fan Wubing said to him: "My wife has invited two Ling Yuan to visit China. Given the current situation, it will be safer for them to stay in China. If Your Excellency the President is willing to transfer motivational technology, the two Ling Yuan can stay in China for a long time. I will teach them how to start a business, study in China, and run a business empire that belongs entirely to them. What do you think of this proposal?"
