In Russian history, the 1990s became the era of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, who, despite their antagonism during their lifetimes, will forever be remembered as the twin brothers who crushed Soviet power. But for many people of that generation, the symbol of the 1990s was the figure of Boris Abramovich Berezovsky. Why did he embody the key characteristics of his time—the emergence of a second Russian capitalism? The author, Petr Aven, discusses this question with two dozen people who knew Berezovsky well at various periods of his life. Among the author's interviewees are Valentin Yumashev and Alexander Voloshin, Mikhail Fridman and Anatoly Chubais, Sergei Dorenko, and Vladimir Pozner. Each offers their own version of the answer to the question of why a short, energetic doctor of science from an academic institute suddenly rose to the status of a symbol of an era, embodying its bold aspirations and ugly downfalls. Berezovsky's life ended in tragedy, but the country's history lives on. And which way it turns at the next historical crossroads depends on its willingness to learn the lessons taught by the recent past.
