THE VICTORY GALA
BORIS & NAINA YELTSIN CELEBRATE
BORIS & NAINA YELTSIN CELEBRATE
Following his victory in the first ever Russian presidential election on June 12, 1991, Boris Yeltsin was feted in a victory gala. He is seen above in a pair of photographs; his wife, Naina, is with him on the left.
I have been to political celebrations in the U.S. This one in Moscow felt different; something of a variety show, with poetry and music and humor, and flowers for the newly elected president.
A bit of the human touch for someone who has been so widely caricatured.
