		Anatoly Sobchak was born in Saint Petersburg in 1937
		Although Sobchak recognised the fundamental disconnect between effectively applying Rechtsstaat and continued CPSU dominance over society, he nonetheless took the opportunity that Gorbachev's reform programme afforded to advance the principle of the rule of law by serving as a member of the Soviet Union's quasi-representative legislature, the People's Congress of Deputies between 1989 and 1991.
		It is even possible that Sobchak's influence on Putin was a factor the wily Yeltsin took into account when he decided to elevate Putin, with the expectation that his process of breaking with the legacy of the Soviet era would continue.

		Anatoly Sobchak was among the earliest and the firmest of democrats of Russia as the Soviet Union started to disintegrate.

	Anatoly Sobchak (1937-2000): leading representative of capitalist "reform" in Russia
		Anatoly Sobchak was a highly characteristic representative of those sections of the former Soviet intelligentsia who became convinced in the 1980s that the only alternative to the crisis of the Soviet Union was the liquidation of the social and economic conditions created in 1917 by the October Revolution and the re-introduction of capitalist relations.
		Sobchak was born on August 10, 1937 in the Siberian town of Chita.
		Sobchak suggested that this new leader need not be as bloodthirsty as Stalin, but he would have to be every bit as severe and iron-fisted, as this was the only way to force the Russian people to get down to work.

		Sobchak's acceptance of this loss of confidence was evident in a single gesture as he watched results scroll across the television screen in his office at the Mariinsky Palace.

		Paradoxically, Sobchak, an avowed democrat of the first wave of perestroika policies, had a hand in creating a phenomenon that is known today as extra-democratic ruling authority that tapped an inordinate number of St. Petersburg-based bureaucrats, bringing them into its fold.
		Anatoly Sobchak plucked from political obscurity a mediocre lieutenant colonel of the state security service (Vladimir Putin) and brought a whole constellation of formal leaders to the political arena.
		Anatoly Sobchak's glory was achieved within moments, but on the scales of history they will probably outweigh and outlast years and even decades, for these rare moments are turning points when the word of truth spoken in time changes the course of history.

		Sobchak's legislative activities in the Supreme Soviet emphasized the establishment of a new legal order based on the rule of law (rather than rule of ideology or bureaucracy).
		Although Mikhail Gorbachev was known as a radical reformer, Sobchak criticizes the Soviet leader for failing "to become a real president of his people and remaining general secretary of the CPSU Central Committee." Therefore, the author feels, Gorbachev's term in office may be limited.
