Yeltsin's Condition (Political and Otherwise) - SPECIAL REPORT
Boris Yeltsin's illness and general or partial incapacity and the resulting instability are beginning to play havoc in Russia. The upcoming presidential elections in 2000 are already influencing events, as well as Duma elections in 1999 (if not this year). Given these facts, it is very good that Yeltsin chose not to run for a third term, especially since it would challenge Constitutional norms.

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.
