Internal politics
​
The internal politics was marked by the two wars that arose in Chechenia. This territory already had tried to proclaim its independence during the civil war or the second world war, ending in both occasions sovietized again. After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, the Chechenian separatists returned to declare its independence. In 1994 the First Chechenian War freed itself until the Russian forces gave up. This war was resumed in 1999 this time establishing the Russian control on Chechenia.
External politics
​
The external politics centred on the creation of a own Russian Armed Forces. In general, Yeltsin's exterior politics was bad planned and executed due to political internal problems like the continuous changes of the secretaries, political fights for the power, besides the bad health that Boris was suffering. The result of this management were diverse wars with neighboring countries like Transnistria, Nagorno Karabaj, Ossetia of the South and Abkhazia.
