Доброй ночи Boris

[threeplusfire]

Boris Yeltsin was the man on top of the tank. I remember seeing him on Headline News, with Don Harrison anchoring the broadcast. (Don Harrison and Peter Jennings were the voices of the news in my childhood.) Yeltsin was a flawed man, but a man who was clearly loved his country and was passionate in such an epic Russian way. It makes me sad, to watch these people pass away. I suppose many people feel like this all time, watching history and the world change.
