...forward. Instead he called on a security man. After its humiliation over the impeachment, the Duma may decide to save face by rejecting Stepashin. But it may be hard for them to summon up the organization and courage to turn Stepashin down. Parliamentary leaders like communist leader Gennadi Zyuganov sounded winded after the impeachment debate wound down, exhausted by Yeltsin's apparent political immortality...
...allies in the democratic movement vowed to unite their fragmented organizations in the wake of the killing. But they also traded accusations with their political enemies. One former Starovoitova ally, Anatoli Chubais, claimed "communists and bandits" were behind the killing. A prominent Starovoitova colleague alleged that Duma speaker Gennadi Seleznev, a communist, had ordered it. Some communists retorted that Starovoitova's allies had killed her to create a martyr.

The following Sunday, no doubt expressing the new Soviet line, chief press spokesman for the Kremlin Gennadi Gerasimov appeared with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes. It's true, he said, that communism is evolving, but so is Christianity. Christian values and communist values--"especially early Christian values"--are the same...
