This video clip from the early 1990s captures the intense media frenzy surrounding Boris Yeltsin, a highly visible political figure in Russia during that time. As Yeltsin moves quickly through a crowded area, journalists struggle to keep up with him, jostling and pushing each other to capture the best shot. This scene is a testament to the intense pressure faced by journalists covering high-profile political figures, especially during times of crisis and uncertainty. However, this clip is also a valuable historical record of the transition to a market economy and the political crisis that gripped Russia in the 1990s. [email protected]
