| | MSN Encarta - Boris Yeltsin |
 | | Yeltsin took matters into his own hands in September 1993 when he dissolved the parliament and called for the election of a new legislature. | | | General Lebed, who had finished third in June, campaigned on Yeltsin’s behalf and was rewarded with a senior position in his administration; however, the president deposed him several months later after a series of spats. | | | A majority of voters expressed confidence in Yeltsin in a referendum held on April 23, 1993, but they rejected a proposal for early parliamentary elections. |

| | PWHCE Who's Who of Russia - Tribute: The Talented Mr Boris Yeltsin |
| | Unity's electoral success gave Yeltsin the confidence to resign in favour of Prime Minister Putin (who became Acting President upon Yeltsin's resignation). | | | With credible opinion polls (released in January 1996) placing President Yeltsin's approval rating at a mere 8%, members of his entourage, tycoons and senior ministers secretly urged him to abort the presidential election, suspend the constitution and to impose martial law. | | | Despite the vast presidential powers that the Constitution conferred on the President, Yeltsin's capactiy was stifled by the extremist parties' majority in the Duma. |

| | Yeltsin then appointed a special council headed by himself to draw up a new constitution promising genuine civil rights, named a new and more powerful State Censorship Department, and backed a group set up by his allies to nominate a slate of true reformers to run for the new parliament in December 1993. | | | Yeltsin took away Rutskoi's car, canceled his security detail, stripped him of all official duties, and finally suspended him from office for "opposing reforms." Moving in for his real objective, Yeltsin then dissolved parliament, although he had no authority to do so. | | | This was proven when Yeltsin assured his countrymen that his absolute power of presidential decree meant he would be able to push through radical free market reforms starting with handing over farmland to private farmers immediately. |

| | President Yeltsin explains his decision to fire his government. | | | He will be Yeltsin the Great and the third school will say this - that Gorbachev was a great reformer that his gradual, incremental approach to reforming Russia was the right way and whatever his failures, he gave, he bequeathed to Yeltsin in 1991 many opportunities -- all of which, most of which Yeltsin squandered. | | | I think we need to get beyond is it white or black and look at the totality of Yeltsin and judge him for both his strengths and his weaknesses. |

| | The most he was willing to concede was that he might have been allowed to meet with Yeltsin only on those days when the president was at his best, but he was adamant that his best was such that Yeltsin could and did make the decision on Putin himself. | | | Say what you will about the supposed non-independence of the judiciary in Russia, the Constitutional Court had decreed that Boris Yeltsin was not entitled to a third term, and he was abiding by that decision. | | | This judgment is based on the decision-making rules involved, the nature of the incumbent, and evidence that the sitting president was physically up to making the decision himself. |

| | 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. | | | By 1989, he distanced himself from his mentor and political godfather, Mikhail Gorbachev, when he saw the president drifting away from radical reforms in the USSR. |
