Yeltsinomics

A favourite story from a British journalist who interviewed Boris Yeltsin:

Journalist: “So, President Yeltsin, how would you describe the state of the Russian economy in one word?”
Yeltsin: “Good”.
Journalist: “Okay then Mr President, perhaps you would describe it in more than one word?”
Yeltsin: “Ah, in that case – not good.”
