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.
