    List of presidents of

    Russia

    This is a list of presidents of the Russian Federation after 1991.

    The institution of presidency in Russia was planned in 1918 after the February Revolution
    and was introduced after the referendum in 1991. During the Soviet period of history
    Russia was de-jure headed by collective bodies such as All-Russian Central Executive
    Committee and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, since the Soviet theory of
    government denied the very necessity of the presidential office.

    The office of the President of the Soviet Union was introduced in 1990 during Mikhail
    Gorbachev's unsuccessful reforms of the Soviet Union's one-party communist state.
    Gorbachev became first and last president of the Union. His tenure was marked by the
    legal and political confrontation with Russia and other republics of the USSR which
    eventually led to their full independence in late 1991.
