This is the Russian Army, Mr. Dangerfield
The Russian Army is organizing politically, not only to pressure the government on its own behalf, but also to serve as a surrogate government. There has always been a tendency for the military to pick up the pieces in situations like this, as it is often the only body able to keep order, and order tends to be top priority after prolonged chaos and instability. Such a revolutionary situation creates some incentive for military adventures, even "irrational" ones.

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.

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.

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.

The summer month decades ago. Hundreds of thousands if not millions watched attentively at their TV set to watch the historical event. If everything happened as they hoped their country would be on top of the world. These were not Americans. And they weren't watching the lunar landing. It was more important. It was the 1972 Summit Series.
