Numbering fewer than 10 people, they called themselves the analytical group. In addition to Chubais and Dyachenko, the group included the head of Russian Independent Television, Igor Malashenko, and Yeltsin's chief aide, Viktor Ilyushin. The President's daughter was no figurehead, her colleagues recall. "She's very bright, she learns fast, and she retains everything she has learned," says one.
