Many among the Russian press and public have embraced the retired general's lone efforts to reach peace against the machinations of an evil clique of warmongers, making him the most visible and so far successful challenger for Kremlin ascendancy. But he is not the only aspirant. Anatoli Chubais, the economic reformer who is the President's chief of staff, has stayed out of the Chechen mess while he cements his own powers as "regent" over all presidential decrees and appointments. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, who has the constitutional right to succeed Yeltsin in the event of his incapacity...

"It could work," says Anatoli Chubais, the architect of Yeltsin's privatization program. "The real standard of living is so low that many Russians are desperate to believe in anyone who promises them a better life...
...recent expression of the policy came earlier this month when U.S. State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns, commenting on Yeltsin's dismissal of Deputy Prime Minister Anatoli Chubais--the sole surviving pro-market official in the Cabinet--asserted that it was "absolutely essential" for Yeltsin to "reaffirm the reform basis of the Russian government...
