Barbarossa - Part 4
Hitler takes over as Commander-in-Chief and, possibly, manages to save more than he would have otherwise lost if he had followed the advice of his generals. At least he had an army still able to fight by the time the Russian counter-offensive had come to a halt.

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.

Trap at Stalingrad
When the battle of Stalingrad began at the end of August 1942, the Red Army was nearing defeat. Brilliant Soviet street fighting tactics, daring operational thinking and serious German errors combined to reverse Soviet fortune. By the end of November the Soviets had trapped the powerful German 6th Army inside Stalingrad - it was more than they expected.

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.

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.
