Infamous as he may be, and as many mistakes as he may have made, Jeltsin was such a relief to see on the international scene. I have thoroughly enjoyed his humour, his craziness, and his dancing. He played an important role in the downfall of the USSR (for better or worse, that is debatable), and he will go down in history as a guy we Dutch describe as ‘joviaal’.
