The First Chechen War ended with the signing of the Khasavyurt Accords on August 31, 1996, according to which the warring parties immediately ceased hostilities, federal troops were withdrawn from Chechnya, and the decision on its legal status was postponed until 2001.
As Sergei Filatov testified in an interview with Lenta.ru, at first Yeltsin was not going to run for a second term because he was tired, he missed his family very much and he had no more strength. But after the unsuccessful elections to the State Duma in December 1995, which the communists won, Boris Nikolayevich summoned Filatov on January 4, 1996 and said:
We screwed up the State Duma elections . . I didn't paytm database to run for president, but now there's no other way. Sergei Filatov, head of the presidential administration in 1993-1996
The 1996 presidential elections, during which political forces united around Yeltsin to prevent a communist comeback in the country, were held in two rounds. The second round took place on July 3, 1996, and Yeltsin won a convincing victory, gaining almost 54 percent of the vote.
But his political triumph cost him his health - in the interval between two rounds of voting, on June 26, 1996, Boris Yeltsin suffered a fifth heart attack, which was not publicly reported. In November 1996, the first president of Russia underwent open-heart surgery - aortocoronary bypass. The surgical intervention was successful, but after it Boris Nikolayevich had a long and difficult recovery, but never returned to his previous work routine.
