    RIP Boris Yeltsin

    No thread to mark the passing of this great leader?

    Come on...the guy stood on a tank to defeat a communist coup! Then was too drunk to get off the plane in Ireland and had to fly straight back

    A better leader when falling down drunk than Bush is sober.

    A real shame.

    It was only a matter of time though, by all accounts he was a very unwell man.

    I didn't post it up because being pro russia isn't always too popular. And it was on every main news page and TV all day, so I guessed you'd all get it.

    But he seems to be the architect of modern Russia, although he did it very naively in hindsight, leaving some very powerful business owners in postions of financial power. And a lot of criminals too.

    But he was (pre mad-nutter-mode) a good good hard trier for democracy in a communist state.

    S!Yeltsin.
