Yeltsinism has an absolutely definite social basis. The aspects of the phenomenon are the ideology, the political organization, and the political practice of Yeltsinism. The social base of this phenomenon comprises the compradorian bourgeoisie, the corrupt bureaucracy, and the criminal circles. Defending the interests of these small but aggressive social groups, Yeltsinism gains the support for its antinational politics. The ideology of Yeltsinism is profoundly hostile to the traditional mentality of Russians and other peoples of Russia. It justifies the injustice and inequality, the anti-state conduct, the dictatorship of a minority, the spiritual vacuum, the individualism, the greed, and the cosmopolitism.
