We remember Boris Yeltsin (1931-2007)





We remember Boris Yeltsin who was born on this day in 1931.  He died in 2007.

It's hard to think of Boris N. Yeltsin without recalling the end ot the USSR.  I can still remember Yeltsin with a Russian flag and surrounded by lots of happy faces. That was a happy moment for him and the Russian people.

Yeltsin was consequential, although he had his problems. At the same time, no one is perfect, specially the leader of nation without any democratic traditions.
 
How will Yeltsin be remembered?
 
My guess is that history will be kind to Yeltsin.
