He seized dictatorial power against the democratically elected parliament in a blatantly pro-West self-coup.

Russia is always either led by weak inept fools or strongmen who murder the populace by the millions. The strongmen get remembered as great leaders while the weak leaders get ridiculed by their history books

Why do westies VGH about this guy so much in between seething about Putin, oligarchs, corruption and general shitholery in Russia?
Yeltsin is the father of literally all of that. He walked so Putin could run.
