Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it is just vdannom event takes place snyatiyaslivok strategy, and Yeltsin, as would be bad about it is not spoken, laid the fundamentals of the market economy and state system of Russia. Governors are elected, democracy in the country and t n. Putin came to power, just took the cream, playing in the fall and got some effect.. We stopped to hear the criticism on TV, though there is criticism that the governors of the same .. now appoints the power budget .... party United Russia s08 to 09 years increased by 2,5 times .... and this is really good enough ...
