YEVGENY BUSHMIN
(Yevgeny Viktorovich Bushmin)
After the many years of the Cold War attacking of Democracy, for many Russians the word conveys a bad image of their old enemy. For others, using the word reminds them that the Soviet Union collapsed and the Russians lost the cold war—an unpleasant memory. Yet many of the leaders of the Russian Federation very much wanted to democratize Russia. Bushmin had this very practical, albeit humorous, solution.
Yevgeny Viktorovich Bushmin was a Russian politician. He served as a Deputy of the 1st State Duma and Deputy Finance Minister, and was the member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly as the representative of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. At the time of his death he was the incumbent member of the Federation Council for Rostov Oblast, and the council's Deputy Chairman.
