Abstract
This chapter examines Boris Yeltsin's presidency, describing his revolutionary break with Soviet communism, his pursuit of market reforms, and his reliance on strong presidential authority during Russia's unstable transition. It analyses shock therapy, privatization, corruption, economic collapse, social hardship, and growing opposition from communists, nationalists, and regional movements. The chapter also traces the constitutional crisis of 1993, the Chechen wars, the rise of oligarchic power, political fragmentation, nationalist rhetoric, and declining public confidence in Yeltsin's leadership during the late 1990s. It further explains Russia's changing relations with former Soviet republics, NATO, eastern Europe, and the United States after the Cold War. Finally, the chapter explores competing foreign-policy visions and highlights Russia's search for stability, national identity, and renewed international influence under Vladimir Putin at the century's end.
