Identify Novel about Russia/United States where Boris Yeltsin downed pills with vodka and died
I'm trying to remember the title of a book I was reading for a short time while working an unpleasant job last year haha.
I thought Tom Clancy was the author, but I looked up his novels & none of the titles looked familiar. So it took place in 1999 I'm fairly certain, Boris Yeltsin downed pills with vodka & died early into the novel. Yeltsin's successor (not Putin in the book) went to the White House to seek economic aid for Russia (budgets & Congress were mentioned)—at the same time there was some kind of secret operation going on with the CIA against Russia with aiding Russian operatives I think, and Yeltsin's successor had a counter-op against the U.S. in the background too.
Sorry if I'm a bit sketchy on the details, I'm really trying to remember because I actually liked it. Any help appreciated, thank you.

I've flagged the question as off-topic because it does not appear to be about science fiction or fantasy (or, for that matter, anything within the broader scope of speculative fiction). If, in fact, there are science fiction or fantasy elements in the story at all, it would behove you to edit the question and make it clear how the question is relevant to this site.
