Boris Yeltsin

Boris Yeltsin (1931-2007) was the president of Russia from 1991 to 1999.
In popular culture, Yeltsin was caricatured by the Spitting Image puppet troupe, played by Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live, and was the subject of the 2003 comedy Spinning Boris in which the Russian politician hires three consultants (Jeff Goldblum, Anthony LaPaglia, and Liev Schreiber) to help him win re-election.
