With the backing of allies, Unity will have about as many seats as the communists. The communists once again are loudly declaring victory, but Putin is undoubtedly quite satisfied. The communists do not have enough votes to block legislation, but the vote was good enough to encourage communist leader Gennadi Zyuganov to run for President again next June. This is exactly what the Kremlin wants. Kremlin controllers know that Zyuganov, wooden and thin-skinned, is a weak campaigner, and they will be able to pitch the contest as a race between the old and the new. The big loser...
...first real setback for Russia's military since it launched its "counter-terror operation," as Moscow insists on calling the war against Chechen independence. Russian generals are once again figures of respect, not the butt of jokes. The three ground commanders, Colonel General Viktor Kazantsev, Lieut. General Gennadi Troshev and Major General Vladimir Shamanov, were recently named heroes of the Russian Federation. The country's self-confidence has flourished along with its armed forces.

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. A leading communist Deputy accused businessman Boris Berezovsky of ordering the hit. Calmer heads suggested that the murder was connected to a dirty election campaign in St. Petersburg...
