Sorry.

Boris is dead.
Boris didn't necessarily understand what it meant to be free.
But the picture above shows he could try.
Boris didn't necessarily understand the essentials of financial good governance.
But he knew what was needed to sweep slavery away.

Boris was the Mayor of Moscow.
He was not the head of the Politbureau.

But when he was mayor, and the Red Army mounted a putsch, he did this.

He rallied support. Five light tanks grouped around the Duma. Boris stood on top of one of them, gathered a crowd of 'freedom loving people' and shouted defiance at the forces of repression.
He inspired a generation of Russians inspired by the West.

Putin?
Too bad.

Rest well Boris.

Now now, Dude, don't be nasty to poor Boris.
He had a hard time, what with fifty years of Communist oppression before he was finally allowed to get up on stage and boogie with a rock-chick.

Long live rock'n'roll!

Well put.
After 70 years of communism, people forget how freedom works.
Boris did a pretty good job for someone that grew up in that world.
