Scope and Contents note
A commemorative pocket watch issued in limited edition in 1990. The watch symbolizes the step-by-step program of market reform
in Russia called "500 Days." In January 1991, Russian leading politicians contacted Bernstam and asked him to assemble a group
of American economists who would offer a new program. In March 1991, Hoover Institution fellows flew to Moscow and met with
Mr. Yeltsin. As a token of appreciation, the office of Mr. Yeltsin presented Bernstam with the commemorative pocket watch
"500 Days."
