Putin is angry because Yeltsin died from alcohol? What US has to do with it? Or with the fact that Putin's family died in the siege (which was USSR faut, by the way, since they've friended Hitler in 1939)?
Putin is angry because the US humiliated Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed. Which was reflected in Yeltsin's collapse, through depression and alcoholism. And regardless of the causes of Leningrad's sacking, many of Putin's family died there. All of which has given him a rather negative attitude toward the US and its allies.
And by the way, remember that the US and its allies invaded Russia at the end of WWII, after the Tzar was deposed. So it's not at all surprising that Stalin initially allied Russia with Germany.
