Former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin dies
MOSCOW (AP)- Former President Boris Yeltsin, who engineered the final
collapse of the Soviet Union and pushed Russia to embrace democracy and
a market economy, has died, a Kremlin official said Monday. He was 76.
...Although Yeltsin pushed Russia to embrace democracy and a market
economy, many of its citizens will remember him mostly for presiding
over the country's steep decline.
...He was hesitant to act against crime and corruption — beginning in his
own administration — while they sapped public faith and stunted
democracy. His government's wrenching economic reforms impoverished
millions of Russians — poor people whose wages and pensions Yeltsin's
government often went months without paying.
...Then there was the democratic Yeltsin, who in August 1991 rallied tens of
thousands of Russians to face down a hard-line Soviet coup attempt.
Throughout his nearly decade-long leadership, he remained Russia's
strongest bulwark against Communism.
Some argue that he was a good president with Russias interest at heart, others that he contributed to many of the international crises in the 1990s (such as arms smuggling, Chechnya, mass poverty, and questionable mideast policies...for starters). Either way, he was a very important political figure in world history. Just thought I would mention this story for you history buffs out there!
