#REDIRECT [[Boris Yeltsin]] |

'''Yeltsinism''' is a rarely used neologism for the political and economic policies of [[Boris Yeltsin]], after he became the effective ruler of [[Russia]] following the dissolution of the [[Soviet Union]] in December 1991. The term "Yeltsinism" is most often used with a negative connotation. Some of the criticisms imply that Yeltsinism involves the outward appearance of [[democracy]], while actually concentrating power in a form of [[authoritarianism]] and consider the current political system in Russia (often called [[Putinism]]) as "continuation and rejection of Yeltsinism".<ref>{{cite book|last=Shevtsova|first=Lilia|author2=Bouis, Antonina W. |authorlink2=Antonina W.
