Lebed's Opponent Crashed and So Has the Market
Lebed's victory in Krasnoyarsk comes at a time when Russia is facing an economic and financial crisis: the ruble is falling, the stock market is collapsing, no one even bid for Rosneft, interest rates are skyrocketing, inflation is a major threat and unpaid miners are in strike in force.

Kiriyenko's "landslide" confirmation by the Duma on the third vote seems to show that Yeltsin now dominates the Russian political scene. Given that he's ill much of the time and the new premier is a political nonentity, that's not so hot. Meanwhile, the upcoming presidential election in 2000 is occupying many people's minds.

European Elections: Abstention and Shift to the Right
Due to political disaffection and distraction by the Kosovo conflict only 49 % of European voters found the way to the ballot box in the recent elections to the EU-Parliament held between June 10th and 13th. In most countries the voters used the occasion to chastise the Socialist parties in power. The biggest block in the Strasbourg parliament is now the European Popular Party which surpassed for the first time the Party of European Socialists. Good results obtained even the Liberals and especially the Green Parties, while the Communists suffered a major set-back. The next president of the EU-Commission, Romano Prodi, who is preparing to form the new European executive, must now consider the proposals of the Socialist national governments as well as the requests of the Popular majority block in the EU-Parliament. In September the new Commission must face a confidence vote in Strasbourg.

Yeltsin and Kiriyenko v. the Duma: Collision Course in Moscow
President Boris Yeltsin and Acting Premier Sergei Kiriyenko are preparing for a showdown with the Duma over Kiriyenko's nomination for premier. He's already been rejected twice, but Yeltsin insists on putting his name forth one more time and then dissolving the Duma and holding new Duma elections if it demurs. The anti-Kiriyenko party leaders insist that the president has no right to nominate someone more than once for premier, and so the president would have to nominate someone else, and wait until three separate people had been rejected before dissolving the Duma. This is a serious trial of strength between Yeltsin and the Duma. If Kiriyenko is confirmed after all, his program promises important changes in Russia.

Moscow seems to be in the eye of a political storm, with issues ranging from tax/pension arrears to taxes, possible spending cuts, privatizations and START-2 ratification to be tackled soon. The Communists may be gearing up for a confrontation with the government, especially after summer recess.

An Open Letter to Premier Sergei Kiriyenko
Premier Sergei Kiriyenko needs to keep in mind, amid the financial crisis, that unpaid workers and pensioners are creditors too, and poor Russian citizens to boot. Not just this crisis, but also Russia's situation in general and President Boris Yeltsin's bad political and worse physical health, leave Kiriyenko in a unique position to make all the difference.

Iraq: Explosion in Moscow
The Iraq crisis is eliciting heated words from both Yeltsin and Duma leaders as they confront each other on a wide variety of domestic issues. This explains Russia's hardest line in support of Iraq since the Kuwait War. The growing domestic conflict and instability in the Kremlin may impel the leadership to "irrational" confrontation with the West, in order to prove that they can take a firm stand. Russia may be turning into a rabid tiger.

50 Years German Basic Law: A Lesson from Weimar
With the German Bundestag and Government moving from Bonn to Berlin, this summer a historic circle will be closed: German politics have returned to where they started in 1871, after the foundation of the Reich by Bismarck. Unlike Bonn, Berlin had been a symbol for some of the worst episodes in German history. But the city that paved the way to disaster was Weimar, the former cultural capital of Goethe and Schiller. In the year 1919 the Assembly of Weimar approved contemporarily the Constitution of Weimar and the opprobrious peace treaty of Versailles, thus laying the grounds for the first unlucky democratic experience in modern Geman history. Fortunately the Germans have learned from the catastrophe of the Weimar Republic and the Basic Law approved in May 1949 has proven a solid ground on which the new democracy in Bonn could establish a stable democratic culture. The achievements of the Basic Law will even guarantee the stability and reliability of the new Berlin Republic.

Feature: The Military in Russian Politics - Then and Now
The Soviet military had an important but constrained role in politics. Now, the military has serious grievances: wage arrears, lack of maintenance and serious cutbacks. If they continue to have reason to believe that the leadership does not care about them and that they cannot count on the leadership, they may intervene...with serious consequences.

Cohabitation in France: Crisis of the Conservatives
Since the start of the "cohabitation" with the Socialist prime minister Lionel Jospin (PSF) in 1997, France's Conservatives led by state president Jacques Chirac (RPR) have been in continuous decline. A bottom line was reached now with the election of the EU-Parliament in June, when Chirac's Gaullist Party RPR reached only 12,7 %, its worst result ever. The biggest problem of Chirac's, who is still very popular among the French people, is now the growing party fragmentation in his conservative alliance, where Nationalist and Europhobic forces proved their strength. In the government coalition the Socialists, reaching 22,0 % of consensus, were at least able to consolidate their leadership, although even in the center-left-alliance some minor parties advanced. In view of the next presidential elections in 2002 both sides and both candidates, Chirac and Jospin, could find it now harder to reorganize their forces. All these difficulties seem to confirm the crisis of the French Presidential System, which has lately evidenced its growing tendency towards distributing the two major political offices to two opposing leaders.

Italy: President Elected, Red Brigades Resurrected
With the swift election of the new state president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi Italy's political class has given a rare and surprising example of efficiency and responsibility. The former prime minister, finance minister and central banker has been elected due to an agreement between the majority and the opposition. In the past Ciampi has always proved master of a new style of consensus policy and therefore his election has now grown new hopes for the long awaited Constitutional reforms. Before that, however, parties have to run the test of the European elections on June 13th, which could even jeopardize the government stability. Meanwhile in Rome the historic terrorist group "Red Brigades" has made an unexpected return, killing a high government official.
