Sorry, don't know too much of the man, I was just a kid when he was around but what I saw of him
was awesome.
RIP, Boris "Big Ol' Bear" Yeltsin.
Made Russia a republic (albiet, still maintaining most, if not all, Soviet elements), kinda overreacted to Chechnya, and probably should have asked China for some lessons in de-regulation. Remember kids, next time you want to de-socialize a country, start with the economy first then slowly spread it to civil liberties. And an oligarchy is not a free market.
