That Yeltsin then may have had something to do with organized crime, that Putin (as well as the Russian so-called “special services”, which benefit from them)
By the way, back then, in 1996, there were fair elections in Russia (at least, that’s what they were called), but in the end, Yeltsin began to look for a “successor” (apparently, at the behest of a narrow circle of his “family”, the oligarchs), which was unexpected for everyone, in order to protect himself from criminal prosecution, in case the new president wanted to put him in jail.
Then, as eyewitnesses say, these people found Putin, instructed him to carry out to collect all the assets of the Soviet Union around the world, and after that was done, a meeting was held in the person of 5 oligarchs, who at the end patted him on the shoulder and said “you’re a good enough guy for us”.
Putin kept his word, gave Yeltsin and his family immunity.
I personally think that Yeltsin and Putin were essentially the same people (Putin simply continued Yeltsin’s work of plundering the country), it’s just that Yeltsin was used by the KGB to transfer power, and Putin had already “secured” this position for himself.
