Too much vodka

Bye bye Boris Yeltsin. A man of great stature, you impoverished most of your country folk, reducing admirals to moonlighting as taxi drivers, and the drunken buffoonery was hardly statesmanlike, but if history has one positive aspect on your rule, you were the first Russian leader to step down voluntarily, a path Putin is likely to follow. The acceleration of the end of the Soviet Union and that will be your legacy.
