...later, Yeltsin called him into the presidential office, presented him with a medal for service to the state and fired him.

He phoned his incessantly controversial First Deputy Prime Minister Anatoli Chubais, the inflicter of Western-style economic reforms, and fired...
Then Yeltsin did the same to the Minister of Internal Affairs, General Anatoli Kulikov, the hard-line chief of 500,000 police and 257,000 well-equipped internal troops.

Yeltsin promptly fired two of the writers, First Deputy Chief of Staff Alexander Kazakov and Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Boiko, and accepted the resignation of a third, Cabinet member Pyotr Mostovoi. Chubais also...
...been certified to fly the Soyuz line of ships long before Foale had even got his first close look at one. What's more, even if they had needed assistance, there were other people aboard the station today to handle the job. Earlier in the week, cosmonauts Anatoli Solovyev and Pavel Vinogradov had arrived in a Soyuz of their own to relieve the two Russians. Foale would be going home too, but his ride aboard a U.S. shuttle wouldn't arrive until October...
