Yeltsin is himself an ex-Communist. In fact, he was party boss of Sverdlovsk, the most corrupt part of the Soviet Union with the most active mafia.
I viscerally hate that man.

CB: I used to hate him, but I really don't have that much time to think about Yeltsin now. -----------
He's in-your-face in Russia. He's the least popular leader probably since Ivan the Terrible (BTW, the most popular 20th century Russian leader in polls is usually Yury Andropov). When he dies, there is going to be a lot of vodka spilled.
