More From Boris Yeltsin
- "A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame."
- "I would like to stress here that a lasting peace in the Chechen republic and so-called peace talks with the bandits are not the same thing, and I would ask everyone to make no mistake about that."
- "We don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Freedom is like that. It’s like air. When you have it, you don’t notice it."
