Yeltsin literally had to bomb the congress of Russia and do a coup though. He was NOT popular and had no support from the people, just from the military.

I mean 1996 elections which were theoretically more or less legit formally, but Yeltsin bought so much votes using fraud and US money so he turned his 8% popularity into win.
