On 25 December 1991, Gorbachev resigned as the President of the USSR, declaring the office extinct. He turned the powers that had been vested in the presidency over to Yeltsin (who had been President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic since 12 June 1991) and from that point on the Office was that of President of the Russian Federation.
