Pony Express stations were placed 10 to 15 miles apart. The riders rode them at. full gallop which was up to 15 miles. per hour (depending on the horse and terrain- I guess). If a conestoga wagon made. 15 miles in a day they made good time. I imagine a cattle drive only made about 15. miles in a day too.

Boris Yeltsin's primary aim in foreign policy, like Mikhail Gorbachev's before him, was to create a non-threatening external environment that would be most conducive to his country's internal economic and political development.residential dominance of foreign policy became even more pronounced in Yeltsin's Russian Federation than it had been in Gorbachev's USSR, especially since the adoption of the new constitution in 1993.
