叶利钦

This moment I express my deep sympathy for the Yeltsin family, Gorbachev was quoted as saying.

但是，现在我要向叶利钦的家属表示我深切的哀悼。

Just as gratingly, a new treaty delineating his republic's powers has been held up in Russia's parliament (the old agreement, signed in the laissez-faire Yeltsin years, has expired).

一项规定鞑靼共和国权力的新条约已经被俄罗斯国会推迟审议（在自由放任的叶利钦时代签订的那份旧协约已经过期）。

Some in the queue had stood with Mr Yeltsin outside Russia's parliament in 1991, to face down a hardline putsch.

这些排队等待的人群中，有些是1991年和叶利钦一起站在议会外，共同面对暴乱的人。

The consitution is just a jerry-built thing and needs to be changed, and that's what Yeltsin wants to do.

宪法只是偷工减料订出来的，有必要修改，叶利钦也正有意去修改它。

As one Yeltsin-era oligarch put it:"You stay for the third term—you may never leave."

正如一名叶利钦时代的寡头集团成员讲的那样："你继续担任第三任总统，你可能一辈子都别想离开了。"

It was in the Yeltsin era that the world learnt the term "oligarch", to describe the overmighty tycoons who fused political and economic power.

这是叶利钦你的时代，也使世人明白"寡头政治执政者"的意思：集政治和经济大权于一身的大亨。

He told me that just as Presiden t Jiang Zemin is his best friend, I am also his best friend.

你们从电视里看到，叶利钦总统同我会见的时候把我的手拉过去放在他的胸口上，会谈结束时，还有一个你们没有看见，因为那时候记者已经退出去了。

Things just lay dormant in the shadows during the Yeltsin years, certain to reemerge once a more resolute Russian leader took over.

事情就在於休眠状态的阴影在叶利钦几年，一定会重现一次更坚决的俄罗斯领导人接管。

That view is wrong on two counts: it exaggerates the disappearance of the security forces during the Yeltsin years, and it understates the continuing, law-scoffing power of many oligarchs, albeit aligned with state power rather than semi-independent.

这个说法有两方面是错误的：它过分夸大了叶利钦时代安全力量的消失；对许多寡头们所继续拥有且蔑视法律的权力只是轻描淡写，虽然这些寡头们与国家权力结盟，而不是自立门户。

State capitalism in order to replace the actual control of Yeltsin's oligarchic capitalism, state power.

以国家资本主义取代叶利钦时期实际控制国家政权的寡头资本主义。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
