yes, he might have been very unfortunate. i don't claim that he is a true champion of democracy, but at least, he was far more fair and liberal than the old school Russian leaders. And what is more, he was right to appoint Putin, although, it depends on how you want to look at it...
Boris Yeltsin was perhaps not all that good nor was he all that bad but he was great. He sincerely did what he thought was best for the people but things were spiraling out of his hands and his advisors manipulated him into making decisions with later catastrophic side effects. In the end before leaving he asked for forgiveness and I can tell you that most Russians have forgiven him because he took blame that wasnt all his fault and he finished as a true leader. Boris Yeltsin RIP.
For traitors like you Jeltsin will of course be a hero, also for capitalists, imperialists and fascist scums. But this is just a small part of the people, the most people, people like me, Jeltsin will always be a a traitor and a liar. He lied and betrayed the communists AND the postrussian people. And you know nothing about russian politicy and history, if you think that Jeltsin wanted democracy. He used the russians only to get to the presidents seat. 1995 the communists won and he shoted them.
Stalin didn't go after the Kulacks because they were rich farmers. He went after them because they were Christian. The Judeo Bolsheviks did everything they could to rid Russia of the Christian Kulacks. Pisses me off Al-Jazeera would just call them 'rich-farmers' and makes me wonder why Al Jazeera would omit such a detail..

Korzhakov is lying. I don't think Yeltsin tried to commit suicide.

A very good and balanced documentary. Only Korzhakov is a famous liar.
And Ivan24.... YOU are an ASSHOLE!

Aw, I think he was sweet. He gave it a good try. You can't undo decades of Communism/totalitarianism overnight.

Jews from soviet elite used Eltsin as a puppet.
Jews-masons decided to change regime from communism to capitalism in Russia.

"Yes, Putin maybe a little tyranic.
But, that`s is what is needed for Russia, for
sometime"
