Yeltsin’s widow responded to Zyuganov’s words about refusing to take any post in the 90s
The first president of post-Soviet Russia, Boris Yeltsin, while in power in the 1990s, under no circumstances could offer the chairman of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov “any post”, as the communist leader said. This is how Naina Yeltsina, the widow of the former head of state, answered his words, her comment posted on the Yeltsin Center page on VKontakte.
“He [Ельцин] was completely irreconcilable to the anti-human ideology that you defended. All this neo-Stalinism of yours, hatred of universal human values, imperial slogans were absolutely unacceptable for Boris, ”she said.
In addition, she called Zyuganov’s claims about the construction of the “Yeltsin Center” in Yekaterinburg by the Americans, as well as the excessively high expenses for its maintenance and the absence of references to the Great Patriotic War in the ex-president’s museum, as nonsense.
Earlier, Gennady Zyuganov said that once Yeltsin, after moving to Moscow, made him a career offer, but he refused. Zyuganov stressed that he had never seen a more drunk and treacherous ruler in his life. The Communist Party leader added that he had stated several times in conversations with current Russian President Vladimir Putin and in the State Duma that the Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg was specially built by the Americans.
