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.

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...
