Gorbachev and Yeltsin, the former president of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and Yeltsin, the first president of Russia. The relationship between the two men was relatively different, and it is said that Yeltsin was able to have a later glorious career under Gorbachev's promotion. But there is a big gap between the two people's origins, Yeltsin liked to study from a young age, and after graduating from college, he was regarded as a highly educated intellectual, while Gorbachev was a peasant by birth, who worked on the farm since he was a child, and because he joined the party 10 years before Yeltsin, he was superior to the other party in terms of party age and political performance.
After the end of Brezhnev's rule, the Soviet Union experienced an intractable period, in which it experienced two short-lived regimes, and finally Gorbachev began to hold power and become the leader of the soviet union at the end of the period. Unfortunately, at that time, the Soviet Union and the United States had been fighting each other for nearly 30 years, although the Soviet Union caught up with the United States in the military field, but the comprehensive field lost to the other side, coupled with a series of major policy mistakes in the Soviet Union, which eventually led to the defeat of the Cold War. Gorbachev, who was almost desperate at the time, was in a very difficult situation, but he valued Yeltsin's ability and gave him great support and help.
Although Yeltsin was an intellectual at that time, his debut qualifications were still shallow, and he had no connections when he first entered the political arena, and what he needed most at this time was a Bole who appreciated him. Later, Yeltsin received great help from Gorbachev to become president of the Soviet Union. The relationship between these two people is felt to be like "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf", if there is no Gorbachev, there would be no Yeltsin career, but unfortunately, Yeltsin not only did not know entoly after he gained power, but he hated his benefactor.
Before the Soviet Union faced the bad luck of disintegration, Gorbachev, as the leader, decisively chose to accept disintegration. If he had been unwilling to "go against the grain" in the first place, I am afraid that it would have brought great disasters to the people of the whole country. The strong Yeltsin began to confront him tit-for-tat, and with a slight mistake, he took advantage of the opportunity to strike hard, and at that time the soviet military power was still in the hands of Gorbachev, but he did not know why he seemed very worried and weak, and compromised with Yeltsin and other party members without any resistance.
This decision eventually led the Soviet Union to the road to formal disintegration, and when discussing the plan for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Yeltsin seized the initiative and only invited the leaders of Belarus and Ukraine to participate in the discussion, basically excluding his benefactor Gorbachev.
What exactly caused these two people to quarrel?
Its main political views are different, at that time, when the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States reached a white-hot stage, the military competition was particularly fierce, and the Soviet Union invested most of its resources in heavy industry in order to win this victory, which directly led to socio-economic imbalances, Soviet residents began to buy meat products, dairy products, etc., and what was even more irritating was that when ordinary residents were worried about their livelihoods, the families of the aristocratic high-ranking officials in the Soviet Union enjoyed a special supply system, and the franchise stores set up for the nobles were complete. All kinds of materials are abundant, and the Soviet aristocracy can buy whatever they want, and the gap with ordinary residents is very obvious.
At this time, the people were surprised to see that Yeltsin, the first secretary of Moscow, was very grounded, never saw him and his family appear in the franchise store to buy supplies, and he went to work and squeezed the bus with the people to take the subway, this image of a clean official with two sleeves" soon won the hearts of the people, especially Yeltsin's political slogan was to resolutely overthrow "privileged behavior", under his speech and encouragement, everyone shouted and responded to each other, and even the Moscow police were out of their jobs. Follow the people to investigate the privileged behavior of powerful officials, and after this incident became big, the special supply shops of high-ranking nobles could not withstand the pressure and were finally closed.
From the above events, it can be seen that Yeltsin did have his reason for looking down on Gorbachev, and he believed that Gorbachev was too cowardly to make the Soviet Union fall into this situation, so the two went farther and farther in political opinions, and thus he was considered ungrateful.
