The tiny group of officials and super-rich businessmen around Boris Yeltsin and his children, known as "The Family" gave a leg up to Putin in the understanding that he would protect them from ambitious prosecutors who wanted to nail them for their corrupt practices. The generals and spy chiefs who'd been humiliated in Chechnya were aching for a war of revenge. Putin would let them fight their war.
