Mourners file past Yeltsin's casket
Hundreds of mourners – some weeping, many clutching flowers – filed through a soaring, gold-domed Moscow cathedral today, past the open casket for Boris Yeltsin, paying tribute to a man who brought epochal changes to Russia but left behind a tarnished legacy.
As public viewing began of the body of the first president of post-Soviet Russia, it was unclear how average Russians would mark the passing of the man who transformed their lives for better or worse.
