Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library was established by Vladimir Putin and is one of the national Libraries in Russia. [1] It is named after Boris Yeltsin. It is located in St. Petersburg in Russia.[2][3] In November 2014, it announced its intention to start an online encyclopedia, which it dubbed an alternative to Wikipedia.
