Yeltsin used to be an energetic figure (in his prime he is remembered as the man who rallied Russian masses to resist in August 1991, defiantly climbing on top of a tank), but upon becoming President, the stress - compounded by depression - caused him to drink heavily.
Yeltsin was an alcoholic most of his adult life and long before he ever became President, he was a total disgrace and so utterly mired in corruption that Putin was able to blackmail him into being appointed as his successor at threat of public exposure. He more than any other person is responsible for the criminals who took over Russia and turned it into the pariah state that it is today.
Это нужно иметь талант,чтобы записать видео настолько коряво,что дубляж мешает нормально слышать голос Ельцина,но одновременно оригинальный голос мешает слушать дубляж.
Even less use if you speak English.

Скорее всего, на бетакаме было две моно-дорожки, а при конвертировании в стерео, одну кинули влево, другую вправо. И, надо сказать, это хорошее решение, ведь сохраняется оригинальный звук обеих дорожек, а микс в центр убил бы оригинал.
God Yeltsin looks like a Russian cousin/relation to Edward Heath
hahahaha true
Heath was a pedophile while Yeltsin was big time drunkard.
That is brutal! No easy way out of communism....
Was Yeltsin sober during these early interviews?

his time was the greatest in russia. all we have today was made in th 90's. all the achievements .
Was that a serious comment? lol
@@SuperRash67 yes. i am sorry. i am born in 1986 moscow. yes it is serious. great leader of a short great epoch of this country. big time. but you could get the feeling that, it has became by putin better. believe me that is not so. putin holds it toghether so so. ok. but big changes brought Yeltsin time. not Gorbachew either. he warmed it up before yes but.. Boris was a real russian rebel soul, great driving force, whose time past quickly. but his team then made it, moved things for the good. Yeltsin can be considered as the greatest reformist, this land ever sow. he was a real men. and said sorry for his mistakes too. you don't hear for instance an american leader say sorry for a war - do you.
@@hwb-zalpach I was born in Moscow in 1985. I'm telling you Yelstin was a western shill. He wasn't good for Russia at all. He was an alcoholic, thats what killed him.
@@hwb-zalpach You have to be taking the piss. There no way you are this delusional.
Reminder that Russia under Yeltsin saw
- Life expectancy to collapse by 6 years.
-60%-75% poverty rate
- Handing the industries that workers had built to capitalists who had no right to them for a fraction of their full value- rise of oligarchs.
-Massive increase in the death rate.
-Neo-Tsarist Putin with a one party state, with an opposition whose only difference is Soviet Nostalgia.
You can only choose either:
1. A corrupt democracy?
2. A corrupt Autocracy ?
Corruption will always be there.. but freedom is a choice.
you can design out corruption actually.. starting with making sure parents dont bully their own kids
Lucky I speak Russian or I'd not have been able to understand a thing he said.
Putin appears at 00:00
lol
It's more young V. Lenin.
Judging from the interview at the time, he was correct.
10 yrs later he is drunk and couldnt even speak anything properly, 19 yrs after this interview, He is dead.
he was not perfect but compared to putin the man was an extremely good person.
Let`s not forget that Yeltsin appointed Putin to be president to cover up his own corruption. Putin promised him that he would not go after him or his family for all their crimes if Yeltsin picked him to succeed him as president. Yeltsin and his family were billionaires when he resigned the presidency.
He wouldve been even better if he wasnt drunk
Really? Putin made Russia a great country today. You do not have the right to judge someone if he is good or bad if you do not really know him very well.
Yeltsin was great character, he gets flak over drinking but at least he tried to bring change,..
I HATE BOTH GORBACHEV & YELTSIN... they destroyed that grait nation
I wonder what Putin blackmailed him with to get him to resign?
He resigned because he was a drunk who drank himself to death. He was in no position to run the country at the end. Plus Putin portrayed himself as a company man. Until he flipped on the oligarchs.
Yeltsin was overthrown by the people.
In most countries the leader has to retire some time, no matter how sober.
That, on several occasions, Putin had caught Yelstin being sober.
The closest Russia has gotten to freedom.
Translation is not correct
Alcoholic
As the brazilian Lula da Silva...
This shows how much the Party standards for the higher cadres went quickly down the hole after 1953...
what happened after Stalins death
That’s debatable.
Maybe you never heard of Kosygin.
Right, I will go far than that, Soviet Union was gone after 1953...
How naive.
चाहतो से मिलतें है रन्ग तो बहारो के लिये भी आया चमन का रन्ग
जो खूबिया भी छाया तो कलिया की तरह आये है सादगी का तरंग
बनके भी रहा जो यदा तो मंजिल के लिये खिलते है सादगी का आकार
समा से खिलते हुवे आया कलिया तो हसी है जीवन के संग
Was this a warning?
he was arrogant as f .. he didnt care enough about expertise or reasoning
Ельцин настоящий мужик и великий реформатор, он не боялся принимать на себя всю ответственность за трудные решения, я благодарен ему за свободу России🇷🇺. Горбачев же на его фоне выглядел жалким и нерешителеным
At least add English captions

Lr
Yeltsin was such a drunk
What did he say wrong here?
@@therespectedlex9794 The man was a hardcore drunk. He showed up to work drunk. Met with world leaders drunk. Made an ass out of himself. Under his leadership, oligarchs robbed the country.
But, earlier in life, he was a kick ass volley ball player.
He was drunk old fool.
Nice, pleasant chap, a great Russian.
@@odim7960 you mean the country that destroyed eastern europe the countries of Poland Hungary Czechoslovakia Romania Bulgaria East Germany and Albania along with starving Ukraine invaded Lithuania Latvia and Estonia for no reason other than they were defensless and attacked finland and you made a fool of your selves for almost losing you lost a war to poland threw innocent people in gulags for no reason tortured people would punish people for what there relatives did stole mldova from romania and when there were revolutions in east germany hungary and poland for how you treated the people they covered it up how could such evil called great?
@@cld-lol @Odim is too dim. He ran away.
@Johnny Sim Most Russians wanted to reform the Soviet Union, he acted against the will of the majority.
@@nikitos3558 you sure about that one buddy ?
@The Wild Soviet Union was not even communism, idiot. It was socialism.
Genesis began 1:1
When the other gets two, they give one. The treats are passed sidelong as soon as theyre in-hand. For those, we support who holds 1:1 intact.
Its a dry ingredient measure. It is just and sane as a method to grow wealth really fast because theres so much it becones gift and immediate trades or storage. Thats the ultimte bottom line. Its a perfect people pleasing design.
Thanks you, Sirs.
