APPOINTED. TATYANA DYACHENKO, 37, Boris Yeltsin's forceful daughter, trusted confidant and unofficial keeper who helped steer him to victory in Russia's 1996 election; as an adviser responsible for his image; in Moscow...
...compound, whose support was sought for everything from state policies to key ministerial appointments. Last July, Korzhakov was fired by Yeltsin amid feuding with Chubais, a key Yeltsin campaign official who now serves as chief of staff. Korzhakov contends that Chubais and Yeltsin's daughter and influential aide, Tatiana Dyachenko, have since siphoned power away from the President and are running the country through him. While Korzhakov says he feels sorry for Yeltsin, don't look for the granite-faced former KGB employee to go easy on the President who is now a bitter enemy. Yeltsin, in any case...

More important, he established a strong working relationship with Tatyana Dyachenko, Yeltsin's forceful daughter, and tapped what an associate says were "unlimited" supplies of private-sector financing.

Her enemies--particularly Korzhakov, Yeltsin's former chief bodyguard, and the ousted national security adviser Alexander Lebed--complain loudly...
...Dyachenko's influence dates back to last March, when Yeltsin, his popularity rating in single digits, rejected calls from Korzhakov and others to postpone the elections and decided instead to try what seemed to be the impossible: go all out to win. He dumped the drinking cronies who were botching his re-election bid and turned to the tough, hard-nosed Chubais. He also began spending more time with his family, a source close to Yeltsin said, and started listening to his daughter. Chubais set up a new inner campaign team. Numbering fewer than 10 people, they called themselves...
