Mikhail Gorbachev has died
So was Russia, actually. Yeltsin went all-in on "shock therapy" and rapid privatization of the economy.
If anything, Yeltsin was too aligned with US capitalist ideology.

Capitalism isn't the entirety of US ideology, and I would hardly say Russia was aligned given how vastly different their outcomes were compared to other eastern European nations.
