I was going to say EN wikipedia goes on at great length how Yeltsin's american campaign consultants had very little influence on the campaign, but now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Russian_presidential_elec... no longer even mentions them. :)))))

The interested might have to try contemporary sources, e.g. http://content.time.com/time/magazine/0,9263,7601960715,00.h...
