...last week, however, details surfaced that contradicted some of Tyminski's accounts. He initially claimed that after leaving Poland, he did not return until last year. But the pro-Solidarity paper Gazeta Wyborcza cited government records that showed he visited the country seven times between 1980 and 1989 -- with the visa for each trip obtained from the Polish embassy in Tripoli, Libya. Tyminski called the reports...
...stories have surfaced in such usually well-informed journals as Moscow News and Literaturnaya Gazeta. The first flock of rumors suggested that a pro- democracy, antigovernment rally in Moscow would serve as the pretext for the coup. The rally came and went with little incident.

But Michnik refused to step down, telling Walesa: "You are slowly changing into a Caesar...
...darkest nightmare in Russian hearts, is now widespread. Too much has happened too soon -- in Eastern Europe, in the Baltics, in the Muslim south -- and it seems to many that things are flying apart. The front page of Izvestia asked last week, "Will there be perestroika or not?" Literaturnaya Gazeta echoed the question, commenting, "All the weak points are coming to the fore, regardless of which region you try to assess." A group of liberal parliamentarians demanded a special session of the legislature to discuss the crisis in the Caucasus. Said People's Deputy Sergei Stankevich: "There is a civil...
