Former Russian president Boris Yeltsin died today.

The 76-year-old was the first democratically elected president of Russia. He served from 1991-1999.

What do you think Yeltzsin will be remembered for? Trying to bring democratic reform to Russia through shock therapy? Assisting in the downfall of the Soviet Union? Tank attacks on the Russian parliament building? The Chechnyan conflict?
