Boris Yeltsin
At the fall of the Soviet Union the president of the Soviet Union was Mikhail Gorbachev. And the prime-minister of Russia was Boris Yeltsin.
When the Soviet Union fell in 1991 and communism was defeated, Boris Yeltsin attempted to adopt capitalism and westernization (democracy) but the transition has not been successful because communism is still threaded throughout the country.
Mikhail Gorbachev was a key player in the eventual deconstruction of communism.
He tried to sell them off for a fraction of their original price, though this meant that many of Russia's most valuable resources fell into the hands of the corrupt 'oligarches', who crippled the countries economy for personal gain
