How Bill Clinton Won 1996 Elections in Russia

Boris Yeltsin is a very controversial person and a very controversial president for Russia. Let me tell you a story about bizarre friendship, wild politics, a lot of money and insolent foreign interference in the internal affairs of another state. This is a story about first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin and his dear friend Bill Clinton, who helped him win the 1996 presidential election.

The topic of foreign interference is a quite popular one in Russia-US relations. However, let me remind you of some things in the past. Boris Yelstin was a man who started a new chapter in the history of Russia. In 1991 he became the first popularly elected leader in the country’s history, guiding Russia through a stormy decade of political and economic retrenching until his resignation on the eve of 2000. But in 1996 his approval rating was somewhere between 3 and 5 percent. How did he win his second elections? With the help of the most wild and reckless election campaign in the history of Russia. During his campaign, Yeltsin took advantage of the services of professional political consultants and political technologists, who provided him with a rapid rating growth on the eve of election day and collapsed the rating of Gennady Zyuganov. And that's where Bill Clinton comes into view. In this video you will learn how Clinton's friendship with Yeltsin helped the latter finance his election campaign, how the United States prevented the revival of the Soviet Union, and how all this led to Vladimir Putin's nomination for president of Russia in 2000.
