The former Russian President was best known for defying the coup plotters who attempted to depose Mikhail Gorbachev when he bravely climbed on top of a tank to see where the nearest bar was.

His friends and families allies gathered for a wake to commemorate the life of the former leader, which his widow described as "how Boris would have wanted to be remembered, if he'd ev. . .

Hmm...
It's a bit of a one joke article. sad

Although, quite an amusing joke. Still... alcoholism does get boring.

Sweetie - it is one joke, but its a bloody funny one and they kept it short and sweet! I do so love the last line

Yeltsin had been preparing for the honour for many years by pickling his body in vodka.

I still have fond memories of his graceful dancing which will last a lifetime..

Blood alcohol tests showed that even though the event took place five days after his death, Mr Yeltsin was still the most intoxicated person at the event.

What a load of rubbish, alchoholism keeps people mindlessly amused for hours on end. And by morning, they can't remember the boring bits!

Boris - a man after my own heart. A pissed up leftie still sober enough to give a damn.
Bizzarely, He was born raised in a country where being a pissed up leftie is considered normal, and giving a shit is not, so he ended up president!

Onya Boris!, Onya!

It may be one joke over and over again, but it demonstrates the old adage - repetition is the key to comedy.
