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.
Boris Yeltsin
The USSR did not break up and become Russia again. Thinking Russia and the USSR were the same, is a common mistake. Russia was just part of the USSR, along with many other countries. Russia was the largest of the countries that were part of the USSR. In 1991, the USSR broke up and these countries, including Russia, all became independent.
After 1991, the USSR ceased to exist. The 15 countries that made up the USSR (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan, Turkemistan and Kyrgystan) declared independence. About 1/2 of the population of the USSR lived in Russia, so often when people talk about the "History of Russia", they follow the fate of Russia after the union dissolved. So the person you're interested in is Boris Yeltsin, who became the President of the newly-independent Russia.
