You gotta love The Russkies!

also, what does this do to the career of Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin?

Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the hearse's door
He's as dead as he can be
Where's he gone now, I can't see

Biggest drunk to ever be a "world leader"?

I think he had to drink to forget all the bad shit he witnessed. A true monster. RIP.
