Regarding mourning:
Mourning for one person is, in my opinion, appropriate because Yeltsin was known throughout the country; some people had negative feelings towards him, others positive, but everyone had some kind of relationship with him. However, holding a day of mourning for the death of ten unknown people seems wrong to me. I don't know the deceased from Ufa (let's assume), I have no connection to them, and I won't mourn on that day. Yes, for the relatives, it's a day of mourning, but I'm not a relative; I've never seen them – and I'm supposed to grieve? It sounds a bit harsh, but that's how it is. Many people won't mourn; many will celebrate on that day (for their own personal reasons). And holding days of mourning for many unknown people – in my opinion – is wrong.
