Дэвид Ремник, нынешний главный редактор New Yorker, в 1988-1992 работал московским корреспондентом Washington Post.
Когда в 1989 по советскому телевидению показали "компромат" на Ельцина в виде записи его пьяных выступлений в США, Ремник писал в своем репортаже:
A Soviet intellectual who was packing her bags to emigrate to the United States said, ``I looked at Yeltsin -- someone I voted for -- and I feared for this country if he ever got more power than he has now. I was embarrassed. I really don`t care if he was drinking or not, that`s probably not fair to judge. But please, tell me you don`t have such buffoons in the United States.`` http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1989-10-05/news/8902020748_1_boris-yeltsin-moscow-communist-party-johns-hopkins-university
