Who was the first elected President of Russia?

Boris Yeltsin

The correct answer is Option 3 - Boris Yeltsin

Boris Yeltsin (1931-2007) was the first democratically elected President of Russia, serving from 1991 to 1999. His ascent in politics began within the Communist Party, and he was appointed as the Mayor of Moscow by Mikhail Gorbachev. However, Yeltsin's perspective diverged from Gorbachev's, leading him to depart from the Communist Party. In 1991, he assumed a pivotal role in spearheading protests against the Soviet regime, contributing significantly to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
