Do you think his lasting legacy will be him rallying his people from atop a tank during the attempted coup de'tat (circa 1990) or him being the tremendously drunken president of Russia with a bad heart and liver problems (circa 1997)?

Most certainly will be the rallying of the troops. As a matter of fact, let's toast some vodka to that!

His overseas diplomacy maybe.
His at home being drunk wont Help.
BUT his overseas relationships YES.
He opened up Russia to the West since 1917.
IE business.
Now Starbucks & McDs in Moscow.

I don't know. But the thing is that, though he may have been an alcohol addict (and most people are addicted to one thing or another), he was a reasonable leader of a peace-loving country. Though Putin is a better president.
