	Egor Gaidar as a Marxist
		Gaidar reduces the choice of economic models in post-revolutionary Russia to “the alternative of state or private accumulation” (303), which is indeed a very superficial explanation that distorts the depth of the Soviet drama.
		Gaidar does not refer to the public, which tolerated the lines in the early 1980s, as well as the drastic decline in the standard of living and the confiscation of their savings in 1992-1995 and in 1998.
		Gaidar could bring only one example that is supposedly in favor of his theory: the chairman of the Union of Soviet writers had in 1986 a fortune, about 14 million rubles (124), evidently made from the honorariums he received for his numerous novels.

	Commanding Heights : Yegor Gaidar \| on PBS
		YEGOR GAIDAR: Perhaps the very first person is Adam Smith, because Adam Smith was the basis of understanding the role of the market in private property and in economic development.
		YEGOR GAIDAR: The role of the Western advisors in the Russian transformation was extremely exaggerated, as it was in the majority of other transformations.
		YEGOR GAIDAR: Without any doubt, we were naïve, first of all because the whole country for 75 years didn't have the experience working in market conditions, and there wasn't anywhere to import it.

	Aide says doctors suspect former Russian Premier Yegor Gaidar was poisoned
		Gaidar, 50, who served briefly as prime minister in the 1990s under President Boris Yeltsin and is one of the leaders of a liberal opposition party, began vomiting and fainted during a conference in Ireland on Friday, and was rushed into intensive care at a hospital.

	Yegor Gaidar: Russia Has Done Better than You Think, UCLA International Institute
		Gaidar said that it was "inevitable there would be weak and unstable governments after the collapse of the previous regime." One reason for this was the far more important role politics played in the former Soviet economy compared to a market system.
		Gaidar was widely accused of taking this stand because many of the Central Asian states were poorer than Russia and Russia had a better chance to go it alone.
		Gaidar's response was generous considering that Yeltsin ousted him as Prime Minister at the end of 1992 as a concession to the conservative backlash against Gaidar's "shock therapy." Gaidar in 2002 said of his former boss, "Yeltsin is a Russian institution, a revolutionary leader.
