Zyuganov Criticizes Yeltsin Amid Political Tensions 🇷🇺

(29 Aug 1998) T/I: 10:27:33


Russia's hardline opposition on Saturday (29/08) launched a fresh broadside at President Boris Yeltsin. With talks still going on between the Government and Parliament to agree a power-sharing document, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said his forces catagorically refused to work with Yeltsin. After the week long plunge of the Russian currency against the US dollar, ordinary Russians still fear price rises and disappearing bank accounts.
