A John Major/Yeltsin story I’ve just heard (2024 context was discussion about how to sum up Tory record in one word): ‘Major described how he had once asked the Russian leader to sum up the state of the Russian economy in one word. “Good,” came the reply. Major pressed him for details, asking him to go further by summing up the situation in two words. “Not good,” was Yeltsin’s considered response.’
