Yeltsin’s Secret Memoirs

With Boris Yeltsin’s passing, his secret memoirs can be released giving us all a better insight into the mind of one the most significant historical figures of the end of the 20th Century. Some surprises about Yeltsin we know learn include:

• Preferred fried eggs although usually ordered eggs scrambled because of societal pressure.
  
• Had it “up to here” with those damn Uzbeks.
  
• Nearly bombed Washington 3 times until someone covered up the big red button after Happy Hour
  
• Big “Golden Girls” fan. Had every show taped. Not such a big fan of spin off “Empty Nest”.
  
• Believed the workers means of production was inversely dependent on the market pressure from the urban proletariat. Really.
  
• Turtles gave him the willies.
  
• Couldn’t keep up to Clinton during G7 after-hours drinking games. Scored more with “the ladies” though.
  
• Really just a regular, down to earth guy who happened to like crushing regional uprisings and imposing martial law on breakaway republics.
