Shakhrai, who is trying to prove that the party, which Yeltsin banned last year, was an illegal institution even under Soviet law, emerged from the smashed car with only a bruised shoulder. His bodyguard, who was thrown through the windshield, broke both legs, and his chauffeur suffered an injured spine. The mystery driver sped away, leading some of Shakhrai's colleagues to suspect foul play. "We don't know yet whether it was just an ordinary traffic accident," a spokesman said.

These perks evaporated for the party elite within days of the abortive August coup, when President Mikhail Gorbachev quit his post as General Secretary and authorized local elected councils to take control of the organization's extensive property holdings.
