Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin (1931-2007)
joined the Soviet Communist Party in 1961. Working his way up through the hierarchy, he was
appointed 1st Secretary of the Moscow City CPSU Committee - in effect, the mayor - and simultaneously to the highest Communist Party organ, the Politburo, in 1985
. Stepping forward as a reformer, he won popularity with Muscovites but
clashed increasingly with Mikhail Gorbachev
, the General Secretary of the Communist Party. In
1987
, after he delivered an outspokenly critical speech, Yeltsin was
removed from the Politburo and from leadership of the Moscow Committee
. When elections were held in 1989, Yeltsin won a seat in the Congress of People's Deputies and by the following year was, in effect, the chief executive of the Russian Republic (still a subordinate unit within the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
Yeltsin quit the Communist Party in July 1990. In June 1991, he was elected President of the Russian Republic. Yeltsin's moment of glory came in August 1991, when communist hardliners tried to overthrow the reforming government and restore themselves to power. Yeltsin made a fiery speech from atop a tank outside the Soviet parliament, rallying public support and facing down the coup leaders. The coup collapsed, and Yeltsin effectively replaced Gorbachev as Russian leader. In December 1991, he banned the Communist Party in the Russian Republic and dissolved the Soviet Union
into a Commonwealth of Independent States.
Yeltsin's eight years as first President of the Russian Federation (1991-1999) proved disappointing.
He ruled autocratically, resorting to force on occasion, and his attempted economic reforms were mostly unsuccessful, leaving the nation's economy in ruins. By the time he left office, succeeded by Vladimir Putin, Yeltsin was a very ill man, and a very unpopular one. Nevertheless, Yeltsin remains a very important player on the stage of Russian and world history. Print on p2 verso shows through faintly. Mounting tape on verso of mat. Items not examined outside mat. Overall, fine condition. Not matted in the Gallery of History style.
