Chapter 278: The Dust Settles

Yeltsin's inauguration ceremony, which is embarrassing to say, was actually in St. Basil's Cathedral.

However, this is also a helpless thing, the Kremlin is still occupied by Goto, and the White House in Moscow is the office of the Soviet government, since these two most suitable places are occupied, then Yeltsin can only settle for the second best thing and choose St. Basil's Cathedral.

However, it is not too bad, St. Basil's Cathedral is also one of the eight wonders of the world.

Fang Chen looked at the Kremlin not far away, thinking with a bad taste in his heart, wondering if Gotu was now standing on the Sbaskaya Tower, and watching all this from afar.

If Ge Tu really did this, he must have had a very complicated mood at this time.

I don't know if it was because of the limitations of the venue, or because it was to demarcate itself from the totalitarian, privileged, bureaucratic, and incurable Soviet power, Yeltsin's inauguration ceremony was not very pompous, but only made some simple decorations in the already magnificent St. Varisi Cathedral.

As well as in the deepest part of the church, a ceremonial platform was arranged.

And Fang Chen was standing in the front row of the podium, surrounded by Kadannikov, Luzhkov, Chubais, **fu and some other future Russian dignitaries who had already met yesterday.

Seeing Fang Chen coming, everyone said hello to Fang Chen very familiarly, looking at this appearance, they thought that they had known Fang Chen for a long time.

Chubais also came over to have a brief chat with Fang Chen, yesterday the two chatted for a long time later, Fang Chen had a lot of economic views that inspired him a lot, and for a while Chubais actually had some meaning to introduce Fang Chen as a confidant.

After completing the hypocritical greetings between the people, Fang Chen stood quietly in his place, waiting for the inauguration ceremony to begin.

However, Fang Chen noticed that there were many reporters around, and even he saw reporters from Xinhua News Agency, Huaxia Daily and CCTV.

But it is not surprising that the inauguration of the Russian president is undoubtedly a thing worthy of the world's attention.

It seems that they already know who Fang Chen is, and it is even possible that the leaders above have already explained something, these reporters did not come to talk to Fang Chen, and the camera deliberately avoided Fang Chen.

And when Fang Chen looked around, everyone also talked about Fang Chen, as if Fang Chen was the protagonist of this inauguration ceremony.

There is no way, at the inauguration ceremony of the Russian president, the appearance of such a mysterious oriental face is a rather shocking thing, not to mention that Fang Chen's face is still so immature, and his position is so high, he actually stands with **fu, Kadannikov, Chubais, Chernomyrdin and others.

Either way, it's amazing and food for thought.

But after knowing that Fang Chen was the legendary and mysterious richest man in Chinese Russia, and that he came to St. Varisi's Cathedral by extended Lincoln, everyone suddenly knew in their hearts.

In the upper class of Russian society, there are not many people who don't know Fang Chen, but most of them only hear his name and don't see him.

According to rumors, if you want to see Fang Chen, you can only try your luck at the Moscow Hotel.

After a while, with the sound of solemn and majestic music, the door of St. Varisi's Cathedral, which seemed to have been sealed for hundreds of years, was slowly opened by two Russian soldiers who were stepping on the steps of Tsarist Russia.

Then, a guard of honor, holding high the Tsarist Russian flag of 100 and 8 years ago, the red, white and blue flag, slowly walked into the Cathedral of St. Varisi, to the back of the ceremonial platform, and then stood still, and the two national flags slowly drooped.

There were many people who burst into tears in an instant, as if they had seen Russia resurrected more than 70 years ago.

Immediately afterwards, two more members of the honor guard, holding the Constitution of Russia and the presidential insignia symbolizing the power of the president, entered the church and solemnly placed them on the ceremonial stage.

After these preparatory ceremonies, Yeltsin came out with a long cry and finally appeared at the entrance of the church.

A burst of warm applause rang out instantly, and its sound was deafening and earth-shattering!

Yeltsin smiled and walked to the stage amid the cheers of the crowd.

The Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, Zorgin, also stepped onto the podium from Fang Chen's side and granted the Constitution to Yeltsin.

Yeltsin put his right hand on the Constitution and chanted: "I swear that, in exercising the powers of the President of the Russian Federation, I respect and protect the rights and freedoms of mankind and citizens, observe and defend the Constitution of the Russian Federation, defend the sovereignty, independence, security and territorial integrity of the country, and faithfully serve the people".

At this time, Fang Chen was actually out of the realm.

After Yeltsin walked into this cathedral, Fang Chen felt that his life in Russia was about to end, and all this was finally settled, and it did not deviate from his expected trajectory.

Of course, it's not that he won't come to Russia in the future, it's just that he won't come to Russia less, and maybe he won't stay in Russia for a long time for a month or two like he is now.

After all, Huaxia is his foundation, and only Huaxia can provide him with fertile soil for future development.

Originally, he was still a little worried about whether Yeltsin would be able to turn danger into good fortune as he did in his previous life.

But after he saw Grachev, Lebed, he was not worried at all.

Grachev was the first deputy minister of Soviet defense, the 819 incident, he was a conservative, sent to suppress Yeltsin's top military leader, but later, Grachev turned his gun and turned to Yeltsin, and was even called Yeltsin's benefactor,

And Lebed was the front-line commander who carried out the operation, and there was no doubt that he fell to Yeltsin, who was also called Yeltsin's benefactor.

What bullshit benefactors, these two people are wearing the same pants as Yeltsin at all, how can they deal with Yeltsin.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Grachev and Lebed were Yeltsin's men.

It can only be said that the conservatives did not complain about the defeat, and they did not even know who Yeltsin's people were, and they were sent to suppress Yeltsin.

Receiving from the hands of the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Russia, Khasbulatov, the presidential badge symbolizing the power of the president, Yeltsin officially proclaimed himself President of Russia.

Yeltsin glanced around, and then said slowly: "For many years, under the leadership of Gorbachev, our motherland, Russia, has been on the edge of a cliff. ”

"Now, I can finally proudly announce that our great Russia has finally taken a big step forward! It will be reborn like a phoenix!"

"We can easily leap from a gray, stagnant, totalitarian past to a bright, affluent, civilized future. ”

"It all happened overnight, and we were able to overcome all the difficulties with an easy leap. ”

The eyes of the crowd lit up, and they listened to Yeltsin's speech with great excitement, as if the next moment, a free, democratic, and prosperous Russia would appear in front of them.

But Fang Chen yawned boredly, and his heart was filled with an indescribable bad taste, in the future, what Yeltsin said would not be realized at all, and what awaits the Russians can only be weakness, poverty, and chaos.
