As I understand it, centrism in this context means "non- shock treatment" reform, which may be a bad idea economically, but the only supportable reform politically. The criticism of Yeltsin would be that he was too vacillating, and finally too tentative, letting things drift as he fought with the Communists and Nationalists in the Duma, instead of more vigorously pursuing reform. But I am ready to be corrected, if I have misconstrued the situation...

What could be the center between communists and reformists? >>> MNI this must be one of your setups....:) Naturally in this offered and (intentionally simplified :)) connotation of yours it is impossible to get it....As you know so well Reformists are former communists....They would surely remain communists if they thought it would be advantageous for them...However, this is not the case...they are much better off to stay reformists...As for Reprint of Yeltsin....the water takes the shape of the bottle, not vice versa....so whoever takes office will rip tremendous rewards in the form of power and enrichment and would earn scorn of the yet again disillusioned and further impoverished population.. (which is the only real constituency in Russia)
