After [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], a disciple of [[Yuri Andropov]], collapsed the USSR in favor of [[EU]] expansion, Yeltsin did privatization in a way to sacrifice economic sovereignty, giving capitalism a bad name in Russia. He also installed crime bosses to run the country. He defeated another attempt by anti-democratic forces led by [[Alexander Rutskoi]] to take power in Russia in October 1993. Notably, soldiers who had refused orders to storm the Duma two years previously carried out the same orders on this occasion. | After [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], a disciple of [[Yuri Andropov]], collapsed the USSR in favor of [[EU]] expansion, Yeltsin did privatization in a way to sacrifice economic sovereignty, giving capitalism a bad name in Russia.
