John Major, former prime minister of Great Britain, found himself one day in a green room with Boris Yeltsin, then president of Russia. They were about to give a joint press conference.
Major said, “Boris, if you had to describe the state of Russia in one word, what would you say?”?

Major said, “What if you had two words to describe it?”?
Yeltsin said, “Not good.”?
