Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin (/ˈjɛltsɪn/;Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Е́льцин; IPA: [bɐˈrʲis nʲɪkɐˈlaɪvʲɪtɕ ˈjelʲtsɨn]; 1 February 1931 – 23 April 2007) was a Russian politician and the first President of the Russian Federation, serving from 1991 to 1999. Originally a supporter of Mikhail Gorbachev, Yeltsin emerged under the perestroika reforms as one of Gorbachev's most powerful political opponents. During the late 1980s, Yeltsin had been a member of the Politburo, and in late 1987 tendered a letter of resignation in protest. No one had resigned from the Politburo before. This act branded Yeltsin as a rebel and led to his rise in popularity as an anti-establishment figure.
On 29 May 1990 he was elected the chairman of the Russian Supreme Soviet. On 12 June 1991 he was elected by popular vote to the newly created post of President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR), at that time one of the 15 constituent republics of the Soviet Union. Upon the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev and the final dissolution of the Soviet Union on 25 December 1991, after which the RSFSR became the sovereign state of the Russian Federation, Yeltsin remained in office as president. He was reelected in the 1996 election, where critics widely claimed pervasive corruption; in the second round he defeated Gennady Zyuganov from the revived Communist Party by a margin of 13.7pp (54.4% to 40.7%), despite the margin having been only 3.4pp during the first round. However, Yeltsin never recovered his early popularity after a series of economic and political crises in Russia in the 1990s.

This documentary is not a historical or journalistic film in the sense that it does not relate the entire career of Boris Yeltsin from start to finish and it does not collect all the points of view. The film rather supports openly the point of view shared by both authors: Alante Alfanderi, a Lithuanian director, who owes in part her freedom to the decisive action of Boris Yeltsin in the independence process of her country; Daniel Leconte who has attentively observed the Russian regime for more than twenty years. The film starts in Sverdlovsk in the 1930s and ends in 1989 when Eltsine won the first democratic elections of post-communist Russia. Through a search of Yeltsin’s background this film discovers the sources of a historical destiny and outlines the keys to an uncommon political beha...

A GLOBAL RENAISSANCE: RI Spring Crowdfunding Campaign: https://igg.me/at/Gp17O7r2ymo/x/11078070 In March 1990 Zinoviev, still banned from entering the USSR, converged (or, more accurately, clashed) in a debate with a then popular opposition politician Boris Yeltsin on French TV channel Antenne 2 and told him in detail what would happen to the Motherland and to him were he to win. Yeltsin was greatly offended. It would be interesting to know whether he remembered this conversation when he became President and acted exactly according to Zinoviev’s ‘blue-print’. As it happens, I actually watched that debate at the time. I had by then spent enough time acquainting myself with the life and works of Zinoviev up that point not to be remotely surprised that Zinoviev was uncompromising in his vi...

The end of the Cold War, the reunification of Germany, liberalism and Perestroyka. The USSR's first and last president, Mikhail Gorbachev celebrates his 80th birthday today, and his legacy includes being hailed as the father of Russia's democracy. Mikhail Gorbachev was born in a small village in the south of the country, and became leader of the USSR in 1985. With his economic and political reforms, he paved the way for democracy in Russia. His best known reform is dubbed "Perestroyka", which aimed to revamp the country without destroying the basis of socialism. His initiatives also led to the abolishment of state censorship and the creation of free speech in the country. Gorbachev received the Nobel peace prize in 1990. A year later, however, he was removed from power in a coup which saw ...

In October 1993, Russia was on the brink of civil war. Deputies from the Supreme Soviet of Russia -- the main legislative body in the country - were on one side and President Boris Yeltsin and his supporters on the other. In decree 1400, the president proclaimed that the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation and its deputies were to discontinue their legislative, administrative and executive functions. The deputies responded with a decree removing Yeltsin from the Presidency. This resulted in two days of street fighting, hundreds dead and injured.

The increased aggression towards Russia from US politicians and media is made more clear when taking into account the real history of the post-Soviet period. The hidden story of Boris Yeltsin’s presidency explains how deeply the US government, along with Western capitalist institutions, cheered, shaped and exploited the country after the fall of the Soviet Union, paving the way for the political system they all condemn today. To uncover just how much the US Empire has interfered in Russia’s political evolution, Abby Martin interviews Mark Ames, an American journalist who spent a decade reporting from Yeltsin’ and Putin’s Russia and witnessed the country’s transformation from an American “colony” to it’s “number one threat.” FOLLOW // http://twitter.com/empirefiles LIKE // http://faceboo...
