Sergey Glazyev or Sergei Glaziev (Russian: Сергей Глазьев) Russian left-wing politician. He was briefly a Minister for Foreign Trade under Boris Yeltsin, a Communist member of the State Duma and is now co-chair of the Rodina party. During Russian presidential election, 2004 Glazyev was presidential candidate who came third with 4.1 % of the popular vote. However, Rodina did not support his candidacy, forcing him to set up his own party. He campaigned as a critic of economic reforms and opponent of the Russian oligarchs. He argued that post-Communist governments have ignored social justice and promised to improve welfare. But his 4% of the vote suggested that these criticisms were not enough to win support away from Putin. Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin listen? (Борис Николаевич Ельцин, b. ...

Glazyev was among those politicians advocating early elections for president and parliament to resolve the 1993 standoff, but Yeltsin instead ordered the Supreme Soviet to be blockaded and eventually shelled.
In 1993 and 1994, Glazyev was even an economic consultant for former Russian Vice President Alexander Rutskoi, a principal nemesis of Yeltsin's during the clash with the parliament, according to a profile of Glazyev published by the Panorama analytical centre in 2000.
Glazyev has not targeted the KPRF during the 2003 State Duma election campaign, although some analysts believe that the siloviki in President Putin's camp are backing Homeland in order to divide the left-leaning electorate.
