Former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin dies at age 76. Born 1931 Yeltsin lived in poverty his entire childhood until he became the leader of Russia in the first legitimate political vote that took place in the nation. An unidentified medical resource explained his death as a heart failure. In 1991 he was elected president in the first democratical vote in russia's history, after earning internationally acclaim when he mounted a tank in Moscow rallying the public to overthrow Mikhail Gorbachev. He was a good man.
