Boris Yeltsin (jul 10, 1991 – dec 31, 1999)
Description:
"You can build a throne with bayonets, but you can't sit on it for long.""We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Freedom is like that. It's like air. When you have it, you don't notice it."
"A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame."
