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.

Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part VI in a series
The CIS' Collective Security Treaty is getting down to the wire, with a summit scheduled for April 2. Georgia has joined Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in declaring the current treaty unacceptable, and in fact she has joined Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Moldova in forming a new security organization, dubbed GUAM. Georgia herself is still in danger of splintering violently - with serious implications for possible oil and gas pipelines.

Yeltsin cries "You're Fired!" in a Crowded Kremlin
Yeltsin's December 7 purge and promised "coordination" bode ill for Russia. Not only is this yet another Kremlin purge, but this shows signs of building on itself. It also is a breach of Yeltsin's promise not to interfere in the day-to-day running of the government. Some things are looking up, however: foreign companies are still investing in Russia, the 1999 draft budget is about ready and the Duma audience seems receptive and <b>finally</b> some official attention is being paid to the Y2K problem.
