...against this background that Boris Yeltsin seeks re-election. He has brought many of his difficulties upon himself--by allowing crime and corruption to flourish, by permitting privatization to enrich the few, by invading Chechnya.

"Men and women are worried that their own jobs will become obsolete...that economic upheaval will create wholesale unemployment... These are legitimate concerns.
