With the death of Boris Yeltsin I am reminded of the times that led up to his famous moment in history. This ABC clip sums up the collapse of the Soviet Union without (thankfully) bringing Ronald Reagan's "tear down this wall" babbling into the mix.
Yeltsin had a reputation as a drunk, an intellectual lightweight and a buffoon. I don't give a rat's ass. I'll always remember him as the man who stood on top of that tank in Red Square and gave history another push.
I hope there's vodka in heaven because I'm toasting a great man today.
