I am Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin. I was born on February 1, 1931, in Butka, Ural Oblast. Throughout my political career, I served as the President of Russia from 1991 to 1999. Starting as a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, I later transitioned to being an independent politician aligning with liberal ideologies. My journey has been marked by efforts to bring about democratic reforms and lead Russia towards a path of progress and change.
