Yeltsin suspended the Communist Party last week, and one of his most senior aides, Sergei Filatov, said the Party should be banned from the elctions.

Arbatov, in his review of the Brookings report, rather grandly diagnosed many U.S. problems as "the natural outcome of the social system and the way of life prevailing in the country." As for Nixon, the institute's scientific director, Vladimir Filatov, last week safely predicted that "he will be true to his class...
