Poor old Boris (II)

My Russian teacher told me a funny story the other day. Yeltsin was to be buried on the Novodevichy cemetery, where many famous Russians have found their last resting place. Initially, he was supposed to be buried next to Gen. Alexander Lebed, his former ally. However, Yeltsin's daughters objected to the location as it is also close to Raisa Gorbachev's grave (and hence the place where Mikhail Gorbachev will be buried when he dies). Therefore, a new spot has been created on a different location by removing the asphalt there. I plan to have a look myself soon.
