If you were any other man I would have ignored you where you stand...
Why so?
Personally I see both sides here as very flawed. The parliament wanted to perhaps, ultimately, return to failed communism. Yeltsin would wound up installing a constitution that made his office much too powerful, and repressed the press too much. Little to no checks and balances=worse government.
Yeltsin wasn't really that much of a saint by any means.
