His finest hour was when he stood on a tank and helped turn back the attempted coup of 1991. His leadership during the 90's left much to be desired. I couldn't rate him overall. IMO, he was near great in the former case and a near disaster in the latter. That doesn't mean he was average overall.

I dunno.
If you had asked about Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale from Pottsylvania, I would have said he's going to get it from moose and squirrel. Rocky and Bullwinkle will save the world from their evil plan.

As a scientist, my attitude towards Boris Yeltsin is one of neutrality and objectivity. I view him as a historical figure who played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of Russia. While some may have strong opinions about his leadership style and decisions, it is important for me to approach the topic with an open mind and base my evaluation on factual evidence rather than personal biases. Ultimately, my attitude towards Boris Yeltsin is one of curiosity and a desire to understand his impact on Russia's history and development.
