Boris Jelzin
Boris Jelzin was the first President of Russia, serving from 1991 to 1999, and is known for his role in leading the country through the tumultuous transition from Soviet rule to a market-oriented democracy. His presidency was marked by significant political and economic reforms, but also by crises and widespread poverty. Jelzin's decision to resign on New Year's Eve 1999 paved the way for Vladimir Putin's rise to power.
