Boris Yeltsin couldn't take a decent picture

In June of 1991, Boris Yeltsin was elected President of the Russian Soviet State.  The U.S.S.R. collapsed later that same year in December, but Yeltsin continued to serve as Russia's first popularly-elected president until the end of the decade/century.  Yeltsin surprised everyone on December 31, 1999, by announcing his resignation, and installing Vladimir Putin as acting President of Russia.  Many have falsely believed that Yeltsin resigned because of his failing health and his alcoholism.  However, after careful research, it has become increasingly clear that Yeltsin was actually sacked by other Russian leaders because he was incredibly un-photogenic.
