Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin has long been a controversial figure, and although he died suddenly in 2007 at the age of 76, the coffin is also difficult to conclude.
叶利钦原是苏联共产党的高层，但亲手把社会主义的前苏联整解体。 对苏联共产党人来说，他是最大的历史罪人之一。
Rome was not built in a day, nor did the Soviet Union collapse in a day. 虽然叶利钦承担不了所有责任，但他背叛了自己的信念，背叛了自己的党却是不争的事实。
但对西方民主阵营来说，叶利钦却是最大功臣之一，他起到美帝国主义几十年来用炮弹也达不到的目的——摧毁苏联共产制度，不费一枪一炮。
Because of this, Yeltsin and the then PRESIDENT Clinton of the United States were also iron brothers.
In 1995, Yeltsin visited the United States. At the White House dinner, Yeltsin, who had always been an alcoholic, was drunk in defiance of etiquette.
餐后，他踉踉跄跄地走出宴会厅，回到房间。 这时正好国内有要电找叶利钦总统，随员这才发现总统房间竟然没人。
It sucks!
The president of the great power has disappeared!
The official in charge of security broke out in a cold sweat.
Quickly send agents to look around. 最后发现他竟然穿着内衣内裤，坐在华盛顿宾夕法尼亚大街的路边上，口齿不清地与一位出租车司机闲聊天呢！
Faced with the agent who came to him with live ammunition, he also looked confused and explained that he wanted to buy pizza to eat, which made everyone cry and laugh.
结果，第二天晚上，叶利钦不长记性，又喝醉了。 他是自己贪杯，不用别人劝酒，自罚三杯的那种。
As a result, after drinking, he was still not finished, and still refused to go back to the room to rest.
这回，他自己来到其下榻的住所的地下室里。 Yeltsin staggered, and the guards mistook him for a dangerous person who had trespassed.
This kind of explosive news, in the United States, where the media tentacles are quite acute, has been suppressed by the White House led by Clinton.
Think about it, if it is Putin, then the Western media will definitely have a collective climax immediately.
When it comes to drinking, among the heads of state, there are not a few people who love the cup, but Yeltsin is definitely the most characteristic one.
As we all know, the most famous wine of the fighting peoples is vodka.
这种不甜、不苦、不涩，只有烈焰般的刺激的酒通常在西方被作为是调制鸡尾酒用的基酒，而战斗民族却对其情有独钟，喝法简单粗暴，直接吹！ 吹完完事。
Yeltsin is arguably the most loyal defender of vodka.
He not only likes to drink, often drinks, but also massive, you can drink a pound at a time.
Yeltsin worked on construction sites in his youth. Construction workers have been working outdoors for a long time, and in Russia's winter weather of minus thirty degrees, vodka is the traditional alcoholic beverage that drives away the cold for construction workers. Therefore, construction workers at that time generally had the problem of alcoholism.
When Yeltsin was doing manual work with construction workers on construction sites, the amount of alcohol and addiction was even greater. Later, after becoming the secretary of the state party committee, Yeltsin's alcohol consumption gradually declined, but the alcohol addiction did not decrease, but increased.
After 1996, Yeltsin's health after heart bypass surgery was much worse than before, so he had to follow the doctor's advice and drink a small amount of wine or beer instead.
But the only thing that can make him lose in front of fine wine is our national essence, Maotai .
1996年４月，时任俄罗斯总统叶利钦对大陆进行正式访问。 His visit to China came more than six months after his heart bypass surgery.
On the first day of the visit, the Chinese side held a large reception for Yeltsin in the Great Hall of the People. When Yeltsin, who was drunk and unhappy, found that there was no liquor at the banquet, he immediately "protested" to the staff and said that I clearly remembered that there was a liquor when I came last time.
弄得中方人员一脸尴尬，左右不是。
Originally, according to international customary practice, only red and white wine was drunk at general state banquets, and since 1992, the mainland has implemented protocol reforms, and the use of spirits has been abolished at state banquets, and all low-alcohol wines have been used.
In 1992, when Yeltsin was invited to visit China for the first time, the state leader spent a lot of thought at Yeltsin's welcome dinner: the Russian guests who came this time had the habit of drinking spirits, and always shouted that the low-grade wine was not satisfactory at the state banquet, so the leader decided to make an exception as a special case to choose our national wine Maotai at that banquet.
Anyone who has drunk vodka knows that compared to our Maotai, drinking vodka is drinking essence.
Naturally, at the banquet, Yeltsin was very appreciative of Moutai as if he had won the most precious treasure: "Moutai wine is good, and the smell is very fragrant." ”
That night, Yeltsin drank half a pound alone.
从此，只青睐伏特加的叶利钦深深地记住了他的新欢—茅台。
The next day, the then general secretary hosted a banquet for Yeltsin at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. During the banquet, when the general secretary introduced Moutai wine to Yeltsin and his party as a 53-degree wine, Yeltsin was quite interested.
He picked up an extra-large matchstick, lit it, and placed it in the mouth of the bottle to see how the match reacted.
还颇为内行地讲解道，“53度以上的发出蓝火，53度以下则为蓝红相间的火焰；40度以下的则全发出红色火焰”。
Yeltsin is indeed an expert in wine, and in addition to the mellowness of Moutai wine, the blue flame that burns when it catches fire is also one of its characteristics.
However, it is at the state banquet that some people are willing to light Moutai - the price of Moutai wine now can really be said to be as expensive as oil.
从伏特加到茅台，叶利钦对酒的赏鉴可以说是跨越了国界。
So Yeltsin drank three glasses of Moutai wine in one gulp. Lady Nana Yeltsina, considering that he had just finished the bypass surgery, advised him not to drink any more, and Yeltsin actually raised his face and said, "You don't interfere with my business, otherwise I won't take you out later." ”
Yeltsin and Mrs. Naina Yeltsina
It seems that wine is really his lifeblood.
Of course, sitting at the dinner table and threatening his wife who stopped him from drinking was harmless, but after drinking too much, he had to go to the orchestra, but he had to make a big fuss.
In 1994, Yeltsin visited Berlin.
At the ceremony of the last troops to withdraw, the alcoholic Yeltsin suddenly left his seat, drunkenly snatched the microphone from the host of the ceremony, hummed Russian songs incoherently, sang and danced, and gave flying kisses to the audience.
And that's not all.
最后他跑到乐队指挥那里，夺过他的指挥棒，开始指挥整个乐队进行演奏，场面一度失控，成了国际新闻。
Despite the mistake of drinking, Yeltsin still enjoyed it, and even after he had several heart bypass surgeries and was repeatedly warned by doctors to abstain from alcohol, he still could not put down the wine glass in his hand.
This pleasure of drinking is probably like the poetry immortal Li Taibai said: But you have to be drunk and fun, don't pass it on for the awakened.
