El'tsin - Mlechin Leonid Mikhailovich

Boris Yeltsin, a native of the peasant family, grandson of the church chief, son of the repressed, became one of the leaders of the Communist Party, and then became the main critic of the existing order in the USSR and was elected President post-communist Russia. Boris Yeltsin became the first elected head of Russia, and ten years later - the first who voluntarily, unlike Nicholas II, Khrushchev or Gorbachev, left his post. His name has gone down in history forever, but the debate about this controversial political figure will worry our society for a very long time.
