The traditional power structure officially relinquished control of political rhetoric and a nascent civil society had begun to emerge. Free elections and political partisanship between reformist and conservative elements of Russian society, spurred on by Russia’s economic troubles, gave a “Wild West” tenor to public rhetoric that was reflected in the election campaigns of 1993, 1995, and 1996. In this volume, the authors examine, through a series of contemporaneously written essays, the arc of government rhetoric during the height of media freedom, the quest for a new national identity, and the struggle for self-government.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Photos\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003eNote to Readers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Yuriev\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Yuriev\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedication: Alexander Ivanovich Yuriev (1942–2020)\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Yuriev\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarilyn Young at a Political Communication Conference\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Volume Two\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYeltsin and Gorbachev \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Framework for Understanding the Immediate Post-Soviet Political Environment: Ecological Depredation, Economic Challenges, the Press, and National Identity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYeltsin Standing on a Tank 1991\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA New Day for the Soviet Environment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Former Soviet Union Leaves Environmental Legacy of Shame\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview of Environmental Management in the Soviet Union by Philip R.
