About the book: 2015 / Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin. The first president of the Russian Federation. The second pensioner of union importance. Builder by education and vocation. An effective manager both in the times of the USSR and in the times of Russia. A man called to build, but who dedicated his career to the demolition of the old system. There is much for which he was praised. Even more - for which they scolded. But even if he had not done anything good during his reign, he would still remain in the memory of grateful descendants. In two main steps. First, he did not allow a civil war. We now know what this is from the example of Ukraine. And secondly... for the decision in the personnel issue, which turned out to be brilliant. On the last day of the year. On his last day in power. When he announced the name of the successor. The man who completed the palace of Russia's greatness. On the foundation laid by Boris Yeltsin.
