...mention of an informer called Ketman, that Wildstein deduced his friend's involvement. Maleszka has made no public comment on the accusation. But according to Wildstein, he at first denied his involvement, then confessed after Wildstein went public with the accusation. Maleszka lost his reporting job at the newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and now copy edits from home. Many believe cases like Wildstein's are all the more reason why police files should be opened to public scrutiny. "People should pay for what they did," says sociologist Staniszkis. Meanwhile, Niezabitowska is still trying to clear her name. Since hearing the charges...
...company sold 2,000 tons of sugar in March, five times the normal amount. In Poland, customers went on a sugar-buying frenzy in the last week of March, forcing some stores to limit purchases to 10 kg per customer and driving sugar prices 50% higher. A headline in Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's leading daily, called it white fever. The more affluent Czechs have been slower to catch on, though by mid-April they, too, were hoarding sugar and rice. Is the panic justified? Yes and no. Prices for everything from cement to dry cleaning to bananas will...
...from Romania and 100 from Latvia, as well as about 1,200 from countries in Central America. The Multinational Division Central South will control - nominally, at least - 80,000 sq km and 3 million people in south-central Iraq. Will the force make a difference? The Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza called it "Babel in Babylon." Common military doctrine, equipment, even a shared language in this disparate "coalition of the willing" won't be possible. The numbers are a drop in the bucket compared to the 150,000 troops already deployed by the Americans, and don't pack the wallop...
...Mezhennaya's case is only one in a series of crackdowns on the regional press. In January police searched the offices of Den Za Dnem, a Volgograd weekly critical of Governor Nikolai Maksyuta. In February police raided Novaya Gazeta, a weekly in Ryazan which had criticized Regional Governor Vyacheslav Lyubimov in its coverage of his election campaign. In March the regional prosecutor's office in Belgorod pressed charges against Olga Kitova, a correspondent for the local daily Belgorodskaya Pravda who questioned alleged financial machinations by the regional legislature. Though a member of the legislature herself, Kitova was detained and beaten...
Boris Yeltsin's income jumped sevenfold, from less than $45,000 to $325,000, last year. The presidential windfall became public after Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the state paper of record, published a list of officials' earnings. This has been an annual event (as have citizens' disbelieving snickers) since last spring, when, during a seasonal campaign against corruption, Yeltsin decreed that all government officials should declare their incomes and holdings. Intended to increase transparency at the highest levels of power and build public trust, the decree had the opposite effect. Nearly all the declared incomes were absurd. The oil-and-media tycoon...
