Boris Yeltstin Dead
Boris Yeltsin is dead. I once ran into Boris Yeltsin. No, seriously, I was walking down the street in Moscow and literally bumped into his entourage. He was President at the time. He will not be missed.

no. nobody will miss a president who would show up drunk in front of his nation on national TV.
except maybe parasites like Berezovsky who got rich through the useful idiot. but let's hope he gets stripped of his UK asylum.

For all his flaws, he stood up against the communist dictatorship when it mattered most. He did so at great personal risk. Consider what could have happened is he hadn't.
Rest in peace.

I agree with Simon--yes, he had his faults (many serious and tragic) but he did help keep Communists from returning to power.
Let's hope Russia does not return to previous dictatatorial rule a la Putin.
