A VTsIOM poll showed that the number of Russians who perceive Yeltsin’s political figure negatively increased significantly.

January 29 2016 392

A regular survey of public opinion in Russia in relation to the so-called Yeltsin era, conducted by experts VTsIOM, showed that the number of Russians, evaluating Yeltsin (as a politician) negatively, has increased significantly in recent years. The number of Russians who blamed the 90's crisis for Yeltsin and his entourage increased from 36% in 2006 to 50% in 2016.

A VTsIOM poll showed that the number of Russians who perceive Yeltsin’s political figure negatively increased significantly.

To name any positive achievement of Yeltsin at the presidential post was difficult for 52% of respondents. In 2007, this figure was 28%. At the same time, 90% of respondents could easily recall the negative sides of the Yeltsin team that ruled the country from 1991 to 2000.

Those who remembered the achievements of Yeltsin most often called this: the revival of private property in the country, the emergence of so-called democratic freedoms, overcoming the acute food crisis that swept the country in the late Soviet and early post-Soviet period.

The main negative elements of the Yeltsin era, the Russians surveyed consider the Chechen campaign, the default of 1998, the plundering of state property under the guise of privatization, mass unemployment, non-payment of wages and social benefits. 55% of Russians surveyed believe that Yeltsin is one of the perpetrators of the collapse of the USSR. In 2007, this figure was 48%.

The survey was conducted among 1600 people in 130 locations of the Russian Federation. The stated error is not more than 3,5%.

Well, what can you do. Yes, I voted for the fucker, I wanted improvements. But it turned out, as in the words of the ex-prime minister... we wanted the best, but it turned out as always... alas, there are few visionaries among the common people. And the visionaries all sat at the top of power and Everyone saw what this whole thing would lead to.

The main character trait of EBN is irrepressible vanity. The West skillfully used this factor to its advantage, constantly playing along with it. Plus an addiction to alcohol. In our village they called him nothing more than a drug addict. People already at that time understood what kind of fruit it was. And the elections were rigged, as always. It doesn’t matter how they vote, it’s important how they count. By the time Eltsin came to power, the people had already become overcome with hopelessness and hoped for changes. But not the ones that followed. During the period of Eltsin’s confrontation with parliament, liberals came to his defense. And they won. Then they took advantage of the fruits of their victory. And they still use it.

I remember when the election campaign was held in 1991 for the then first president of the RSFSR, there were heated debates in the streets - who to vote for? The majority were for EBN, although there were some who were going to vote for Tuleyev, some for Makashov. I jumped into a conversation on the street and said that EBN is the First Secretary of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU, he clearly broke into the nomenklatura through dishonest means, on populism (and at that time his samizdat book “A Conversation on a Given Topic,” written by his son-in-law Yumashev, was popular) , and he will deceive you. So the crowd almost tore me to pieces. One granny wanted to rip my eyes out with her hooked fingers and kept shouting: “He promised us thousands, thousands!” Yes, plus everyone was wildly tired of MSG with his chatter with all sorts of buzzwords like “concession”. And the shops are empty. It was believed that ordinary people would actually have “thousands” in their pockets and wallets. They didn’t think or guess that even millions appeared later, but what’s the point? So Western political technologies worked in full then. The people have been brainwashed so that only Yelitsin is our savior. They even came up with a short joke: “Question: what is the unit of measurement of justice? Answer: dace!” So we got everything “fairly”. I swallowed these “Dalets” to the point of “I can’t.”

And there is no doubt that the period of the EBN’s rule had an extremely negative impact on our country ....
Well it was necessary to drag such a person into power ....

My aunt studied with him in the same class! He was always completely inadequate, and besides, after a grenade fuse exploded in his hand and injured his hand, he also became a cretin!
By the way, in the West, in the political field, such depression is taken into account and is excluded from appointment to a position! In our party circles, the image was quoted
the intrepid Gavroche, which influenced the party career of the future “reformer”.

Dear forum users, do not forget 1993. Remember the shooting of the White House in Moscow, and the decision of the Constitutional Court. Yeltsinskaya ...was in power from 1993 until her abdication illegally.

If the ratio between those who positively perceive Yeltsin and those who negatively assess his personality corresponds to the ratio between rich and poor, then if the Russian Federation were Europe, the ratio would be 5 to 95. But we are not Europe, so the numbers are something like this: 1% vs 99%. All fluctuations in the “rating” are within the statistical error.

The ideas the CPSU gave you were good. There are scoundrels in every party, Yeltsin was kicked out of it, so the people stood for the offended. True, then the people did not know that he was such a DRUNK. They carry water for the offended, but here, on the contrary, it turned out that he was offended and ruined the country, and then he got him drunk and taught the children glue to sniff.
And even today our SU-24 would fly under cover and would not quarrel with the Turks.

Yeltsin's policy B.N. can even be characterized by the abbreviation EBN**** and that says it all. The person made all decisions exclusively while intoxicated, no matter how scary it was. His example is followed by P.A. Poroshenko.....

  For EBN, the main thing of his reforms is the destruction of education, industry and the consolidation of these “Achievements” in the constitution born in the bowels of the NSA SGA. And it doesn’t matter, according to his own words, how many people will die in our country.

“Like thunder from a clear sky” - when they showed a report about the opening of this center, as well as Putin’s speech at this opening. It was very unpleasant to watch all this action. And then the “conclusions” addressed to Lenin began to be heard. And for some reason a question immediately arose for the president. And he wouldn’t want to turn to Yeltsin with questions.? People like Yeltsin, Gorbachev and other shifters destroyed the state, and Lenin turned out to be bad, guilty, sort of. Stalin is a “despot”, Lenin is not a far-sighted statesman, and Yeltsin is a young fellow. So it turns out? Somehow it doesn’t fit, Yeltsin is a statist, and Lenin is not a competent statist! They spun it wildly! For what? What are they trying to justify? Rotten cap. system? In order to make such accusations, you yourself need to “outdo” both Lenin and Stalin, and an order of magnitude higher. Can they?

That is, some of those who perceived this drunkenness positively and took advantage of the lawlessness changed their minds? In my opinion this is impossible. I would rather believe that they remember those times with nostalgia.

in 1996, a very small number voted for Yeltsin

In 1996, Zyuganov had more votes. But it seems that the liberals made him an offer in favor of the EBN, which he could not refuse.

This change in polls was most likely influenced by the current economic crisis. Because the Crisis and Yeltsin have become reinforced concrete associations with each other, the bold will always be in the mind and memory =. And besides, it was generally the same people who led to the crisis of the 90s and the current one, with the same views and attitude towards Russia and its population, these are still the same liberals.

I think that there are many more of us who consider Yeltsin, like Gorbachev and his team of traitors, to be criminals. But here’s the paradox: today I accidentally saw a report about the Yeltsin Center and all the fuss about this vile figure. And Svanidze is like a nightingale here. And was it worth driving these billions into the complex for the man who destroyed and plundered the USSR?
And while liberals are in power, we shouldn’t expect anything good for the country and people.
