...sour and the screws are tightened domestically. Opposition parties are banned, and rallies are brutally broken up by the police. NGOs get shut down, while the state launches criminal probes into their leaders. The cowed media's controls grow ever harsher. And, just as 42 years ago, the Kremlin propaganda invokes the specter of an external enemy and its internal agents threatening Mother Russia.

Propaganda officials were instructed at the time to hint that Yeltsin had been dismissed for delivering a drunken diatribe - an accusation that may have been true, judging by subsequent lapses in his public behavior. The CIA reported during the 1990s that Yeltsin was an alcoholic, subject to occasional binges that kept him out of action for days at a time and led to sudden cancellations of meetings with key foreign visitors...
