Personal life

"Personal life" - memoirs of the wife of the first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin. The book is originally written for children and grandchildren. But relatives persuaded the author to decide on the publication of the manuscript. Memoirs cover a long period of time - from the 1930s to the present day. Naina Iosifovna Yeltsina recalls the story of her family, whose roots go to the village of Titovka, located in the Southern Urals. Most of the memoirs are associated with the name of Boris Yeltsin, with whom Nina Iosifovna lived for more than fifty years. We learn about how they met, how their relationship developed, how their family grew. The book has many details associated with the author’s personal life - Nina Iosifovna is very careful about details. It is observant, accurately and does not accept artistic exaggeration.
The fate of Nina Yeltsina was so that her personal life became part of the history of a large country at a fracture of the eras. The president’s wife saw many historical events from a very close distance. Memoirs make it possible to look at these events with her eyes - the first popular elections of the President of Russia, the August coup of 1991, the collapse of the USSR, the political crisis of 1993, the default of 1998 and many others
