Boris Yeltsin became Russia's first president and democratically elected leader in 1991. The darling of the West, to many he appeared as a revolutionary who had brought freedom to the world's largest nation after 70years of communist dictatorship. Yet by the time he left office he was deeply unpopular, having disappointed both his people and his Western backers.

  • fuck the fat pig

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

  • 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...

  • Excellent series by AlJazeera, I am very impressed.

    Superb 5 stars...keep up the good work. I'd like to see an 'I Knew Mao.'

  • Boris was hero. He broke putrefied communism

  • QUICK- WHATS 5 X 5!!

  • Kill a Commie for Mommie!

    Fuck the Russians and the American communists who support the nigger buttcrack hussein obumhole!

  • 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.

  • to what? And why?
