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.

Mayhem in Moscow: 1997 in Review
1997 in review: poor tax collections, media/banking empires, and even Chubais the putative reformer doesn't have clean hands. Chubais has suffered serious reverses; many of his allies are now gone in the wake of a book-publishing scandal, and he has definitely lost some standing. Centralization of media and banking is possible in the near future.

Meltdown in Moscow - SPECIAL REPORT
With the replacement of Premier Sergei Kiriyenko by previous Premier Victor Chernomyrdin right in the middle of post-Soviet Russia's worst financial crisis and crisis of confidence, I have come to the conclusion that anything can happen at this point. Everyone, especially Westerners living in Russia, should now be prepared for the worst.

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.

Crisis As Usual
Russia's current financial crisis, a slow downward slide rather than a cataclysmic fall, is becoming a microcosm of Russia in general, lurching from crisis to crisis due mainly to political and legal instability. Watch the changes in Russia's tax administration and implementation for a possible turnaround - not just in raising more money but, more importantly, raising more confidence in the government.

Eye of the Storm?
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.

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.

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.

The Scope, Meaning, Causes and Implications of Political Instability
When trying to understand politics, I emphasize matters of political credibility. Leaders who are not perceived as being bound by their word will suffer - and their nations and possibly other nations as well will suffer with them - in many ways. Most dramatically, leaders may feel forced to adopt policies very far from the norm and not subject to any retraction - to become rabid tigers - just to show that they do mean what they say. These facts give considerable cause for concern but not resignation regarding Russia.

What Is To Be Done?
The Russian securities markets have gone off the deep end as the ruble has in fact been allowed to float, a 90-day moratorium has been imposed on some foreign creditors and yet another top aide has been fired. If the West in fact wants to help Russia, she must use her financial resources not as a direct cure for Russia's problems - they are really political, not economic - but rather as the incentive necessary to undertake much-needed reforms, and re-establish the Russian government's credibility.

Why Russia (Likely) Won't Go To War Over Kosovo
Despite dire warnings from the Kremlin and elsewhere of world war over Kosovo, and despite my own un-Pollyannish view of Russia's potential, I do not believe World War III will start in the Balkans in the near future. I believe this both because Russia has much less stake in the Balkans than in the Caspian, and also because the Russian state is much more stable than it has been in some time. Even the top Communist member of the Cabinet has attacked proposals for "rethinking" Russian military doctrine in the face of NATO action in Yugoslavia. This is more a matter of Russia maintaining some sort of balance of power in the world by siding with America's enemies.

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.

Boris Yeltsin's illness and general or partial incapacity and the resulting instability are beginning to play havoc in Russia.

Peace in Kosovo: Rebuilding a Future for the Balkans
After 78 days of relentless aerial bombing peace has finally arrived for the harassed populations of former Yugoslavia. On 10th June NATO-airplanes have finally stopped their raids against Yugoslavian military and infrastructure, while the Serbian troops have started to retreat from the Kosovo province, accompanied by many Kosovar Serbs who fear the revenge of the Albanians. Peacekeepers (K-For) from NATO countries and from Russia have occupied the province and the Kosovar refugees are returning to their homes. But many questions remain still unsolved: Can peace be guaranteed by the Kosovo-Force and will the cooperation between NATO and Russian forces work ? How many Kosovar civilians were slain by the Serbian militia during the conflict ? Can the murderers be put on trial ? Is a peaceful living together of Serbs and Kosovar Albanians still possible ? What will be the future status of Kosovo ? Will Serbia find the way to a democratic regime ? What will be the destiny of Slobodan Milosevic ? Who will pay for the reconstruction of the destroyed countries ? Which impact will this war have on the international system and especially on the relations between the European Union, the United States and Russia ?
