Sergei Kovalyov had offered his resignation last week, citing the president's "final recoil from the policy of democratic reforms."
"I can no longer work with a president whom I consider neither a supporter of democracy nor the guardian of the rights and freedoms of the citizens of my country," Kovalyov wrote to Yeltsin.
Itar-Tass and Interfax both reported that Yeltsin on Saturday accepted his resignation without comment.
