Former President Boris Yeltsin died of heart failure in a Kremlin hospital on Monday. He was 76.

The Kremlin's top doctor, Sergei Mironov, said Yeltsin died at 3:45 p.m. at the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow.

"He died as a result of progressive cardiovascular and multiple organ failures," Mironov told reporters.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the account.

It was not immediately clear what led to the heart failure. Less than two weeks ago, Yeltsin was planning a seaside vacation, said Viktor Chernomyrdin, who served for eight years as Yeltsin's prime minister.

"I was on the phone with Boris Nikolayevich on April 9. ... He was asking whether it would be warm in the Crimea this year. He was planning to spend 10 days or so this year in the Crimea," said Chernomyrdin, Russia's ambassador to Ukraine, Interfax reported.

A sign of his poor health surfaced last weekend when Yeltsin, a big tennis fan, failed to attend the Federation Cup match between Russia and Spain in Moscow. Shamil Tarpishchev, the Federation Cup captain and the country's top sports official under Yeltsin, said the former president had not attended because he caught a cold while on vacation in Jordan, Gazeta.ru reported Monday.

He wasn't a very good politician from what I remember. Seems like he saved the world from nuclear catastrophe though? Kudos for that

Maybe I am pessimistic, but I can't shake the feeling that he was one of the last good guys. It's all downhill from here.

A truly brave provider of lulz has left us. But we shall remember him forever, as we stare at the Great Drunken Russian Politiciancatcher in the sky.
