With curfew and darkness rapidly approaching, we are about to board a military convoy heading out of town when the main event, much delayed, finally happens. Accompanied by multiple levels of security, Anatoli Chubais, former Deputy Prime Minister and Kremlin chief of staff and now head of the energy monopoly RAOEES, drives up to the administrative building. With him are the Russian government's point man for the breakaway republic, Nikolai Koshman, and the mufti of Chechnya, who has recently withdrawn his support from the government of Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov...
...embattled President rose early on Monday to greet Stepashin and Putin at Gorki-9, the presidential dacha outside Moscow. The hour--7:30 a.m.--meant Yeltsin was not seeking a casual conclave. Stepashin and Putin knew what was coming; the shake-up had already surfaced in the Moscow press. Anatoli Chubais--an early Yeltsin ally--had even met with Kremlin aides on Sunday to argue that firing another Prime Minister now, with parliamentary elections set for December and a presidential vote next July, was a dangerous move that could discredit the Kremlin, the government and Russia in general.

...keep negotiations bogged down until NATO had deployed. Yeltsin, meanwhile, was smarting at what he felt was Bill Clinton's condescension toward him.

...this holding the world economy by the hand is even better than advertised. The phone rings. Maybe it will be like this summer, when your mom picked up in your house on Cape Cod and found Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan on one line and worried Russian reformer Anatoli Chubais on the other. Oh, how she thrilled over that! The phone rings, and because you are the Deputy Secretary (and happen to be one of the few rocket-scientist economists not trying to create a black box to make deviously complex trades on Wall Street), you pick up the receiver.

...DIED. ANATOLI RYBAKOV, 87, Russian author; in New York City. Rybakov started writing stories part time while driving a truck. His children's book The Dirk, published in 1950, was an immediate success and admired by Stalin. On the other hand, it took years for him to get his epic novel Children of the Arbat published. When the work--which freely discusses Stalin's terrors--finally appeared in 1986, it sold more than 1 million copies in the Soviet Union...
