message: It is widely believed in Russia that the elections of 1996 were not democratic and also it is known that Yeltsin unconstitutionally usurped power in 1993, ordering tanks to fire at parliament. Can anybody please remove the "democratically elected" in favor of neutrality?--Dojarca (talk) 04:18, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
