Impeachment Now!
Impeachment proceedings against Yeltsin are expected to be voted on by the Duma in January, and if accepted by a two-thirds majority there, to go before the Supreme and Constitutional Courts and then, if approved by both, to the Federation Council, which must vote a two-thirds majority to remove the president. The charges - supported predominantly though not solely by the Communists - are mostly political in nature. Indeed, genuine legal scandals do not seem to be playing any role in the impeachment process whatsoever. Yeltsin is recovering (physically), so this matters more. Among other things, this may have some effect on the Russian-Indian negotiations for a strategic partnership in 1999.

Primakov's Outta Here...and so am I
<p>All my predictions of (relative) peace and calm in Moscow seem to have been knocked into a cocked hat, with Yeltsin's third replacement of his premier in just over a year, in the teeth of a Duma debating impeaching him. His change of premier may (in case his nominee for premier is rejected by the Duma three times) give him a right that would be forbidden if the Duma approves any articles of impeachment - the right to dissolve the Duma and call early Duma elections. This in itself - let alone the fact that Primakov and his government was forced upon Yeltsin by the Duma - spells a likely constitutional crisis.</p> <p>More importantly, it spells a likely return to instability and possibly even chaos, as expectations are destroyed once more by Yeltsin's breaking his promises (not to interfere in Primakov's government) and upsetting expectations through personnel reshuffles. This brings back the spectre of Russia as rabid tiger...with a likely enough international issue at hand.</p> <p>Breaking promises is also why I am leaving Suite101.com. Suite101.com management broke a couple of promises to us Contributing Editors, and did so with little consideration for what was at stake. After long and careful thought, I have decided that it would be neither right nor prudent for myself to stick with Suite101.com. But, you should still feel free to email me and/or visit my site, especially if you want to start up some new Russian politics discussions or articles...and there should be plenty to write about in the months ahead!</p>
