>If the book is to be believed, security was very light. Light compared to what? Numerically, yes. It was making no sense to have more than a regiment of them in a country where the total number of 3 letter agencies staff was comparable to standing army. But the level of paranoia was not light whatsoever. Yeltsin on the other hand had to live under a constant threat of armed uprising by the same three letter agencies. The internal threat had an entirely different nature. |

Shouldn't have disbanded Vympel because they refused to storm the white house and risk a ton of casualties. Yeltsin was a drunk, useless coward.
Oh, and he also re-organized the KGB/MVD/FSB 3+ times.
