"Bill Clinton let slip some years later that the American Secret Service
had found Yeltsin, during an official visit to Washington in 1995,
wandering drunk in his underpants down Pennsylvania Avenue looking for a
pizza. Who knows what Russia might be like now if Yeltsin had been left
to stagger on into the night, rather than returned to his bedroom in
Blair House? At that point in Russia’s transition everything was still
possible. In the four remaining years of Yeltsin’s miserable reign the
possibilities drained away, until only Putin was left." (Russia, NATO, Trump: The Shadow World, de Robert Cottrell, na NYRB)
