Boris Eltsin died, RIP

Boris Yeltsin, the first president of Russia, died on April 23, 2007. What are people saying about this sad event in Russia? As always happens to presidents, Yeltsin was forgotten shortly after he left office. Yesterday, people were calling and texting each other with the question „Did you know Yeltsin died?"
Russian TV showed many highlights of Yeltsin's life - even more than you might have seen while he was still alive. They say people will not fully understand and recognize his contribution to Russian and world history for many years.
Do you know what Yeltsin did, for better or for worse?
