| | Boris Yeltsin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His father, Nikolai Yeltsin, was convicted of anti-Soviet agitation in 1934 and served in a gulag for three years. | | | As an alleged condition of Yeltsin's support of Putin, Putin warranted that neither Yeltsin nor members of his "family" (the popular term that designates the circle of people who governed the country during his presidency) would be prosecuted for unconstitutional use of military force against the lawful parliament, violation of laws, corruption, bribery or treason. | | | In March 1989, Yeltsin who became popular because of his criticism of Gorbachev, was elected to the Congress of People's Deputies as the delegate from Moscow district and gained a seat on the Supreme Soviet. |

| | Yeltsin was so Russian it was as though someone made him up: bear-like in stature, hard-drinking, supremely confident. | | | Ultimately using his expulsion from the ruling elite’s Politburo as a badge of honor rather than humiliation, Yeltsin tore up his Communist Party card in 1990 and marched out of the Congress of People's Deputies. | | | On the last day of the twentieth century, the century that saw the rise and fall of world communism as represented by the Soviet Union, Russian President Boris Yeltsin abruptly resigned his office. |
