Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part IV in a series
Russia's Boris Berezovsky is scrambling to save the CIS collective defense structure in general and the Caspian members' participation in particular. Meanwhile, continued Russian buildups in Armenia cast an ominous shadow over conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, while an Ankara-Tbilisi-Baku axis seems to be forming. That axis is best represented by a proposed oil pipeline, which for obvious reasons will interest the rest of the world.

Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part I in a series
The Caspian Sea region, with its ethnic strife (and arbitrary borders), growing Islamic fundamentalism, absolute despotism since time immemorial - and now stupendous oil and gas reserves - is becoming the New Middle East of the 21st Century. The resulting internal divisions, Western ignorance of the stakes in the various ethnic wars, plus the plausible claim Russia has to some of the Caspian oil anyway would make the Caspian a logical starting point for Russian adventurists.

Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part V in a series
Boris Berezovsky has been canned by Yeltsin - possibly as a result of his conciliatory responses to some CIS member concerns. Armenia is calling for an official role for Turkey and Iran in the Caucasus region, and both countries have vested interests there. Chechnya's ongoing hostage crisis - a microcosm of its political crisis - may be coming to a crescendo with the abduction of Russian Interior Ministry General Gennady Shpigun.

Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part VI in a series
The CIS' Collective Security Treaty is getting down to the wire, with a summit scheduled for April 2. Georgia has joined Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in declaring the current treaty unacceptable, and in fact she has joined Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Moldova in forming a new security organization, dubbed GUAM. Georgia herself is still in danger of splintering violently - with serious implications for possible oil and gas pipelines.
