Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin - the man credited with bringing down the Soviet Union - has died aged 76.     In 1988, two years after being transferred to a top job in Moscow, he quit the Soviet politburo. Soon afterwards, he shocked communists as he was elected to parliament

In August 1991, a failed coup by hardliners served him well as he proceeded to discredit the Soviet system.

 

And he did not stop the offensive - and a meteoric rise to national leadership - even though the target was none other than his former benefactor, Mikhail Gorbachev.

 

The strong man of Russian politics knew exactly what he wanted next: he banned the Communist Party and by the end of the year the Soviet Union had broken apart.

 

So the first elected leader of Russia as a Soviet republic became president of a newly-independent successor state to the USSR.

 

Soon, Russia's Boris Yeltsin emerged onto the world stage as a new player, though one who caused some Russians embarrassment.

 

During his energetic campaigning for re-election in 1996, he suffered a heart attack, leading to a quintuple heart bypass operation.     Erratic behaviour - some say a result of too much drink - led to a drop in popularity. He resigned in 1999 after presiding over a second military intervention in Chechnya.   Largely out of sight since then, he is nonetheless remembered fondly by some Russians - as others accuse him of undermining Russian prestige.   Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin died Monday, April 23, at age 76. He died of heart failure, according to Russian news media. Yeltsin was the first democratically elected president of Russia, but leaves behind mixed memories of his tenure.
