Wow. Without fanfare, a comprehensive archive of White House documents covering nearly all of Bill Clinton’s meetings and phone calls with Boris Yeltsin from 1993-1999 has been declassified and is now online. https://t.co/OyW6R2bqUX 1/ pic.twitter.com/sMZanglzjs

Excellent! Thank you for pointing it out, was totally fascinated by the relationship at the time and constantly wondering what was really going on, not going to dive in myself but certainly going to watch for articles by others who do so.
