[from his 1994 memoir "The Struggle for Russia"] The debilitating bouts of depression, the grave second thoughts, the
insomnia and headaches in the middle of the night, the tears and
despair . . . the hurt from people close to me who did not support me at
the last minute, who didn't hold up, who deceived me - I have had to
bear all of this.
