...central bank's reserves have dwindled to about $14 billion, and the Kremlin's great fear is that it will have to devalue the ruble. That would cruelly increase prices for ordinary Russian citizens, cause social and political upheaval and dash Yeltsin's hopes for his legacy as a reformer. At the Kremlin on Friday, he vowed there would be no devaluation and issued a fusillade of decrees on how to get tough with tax dodgers. He fired the chief tax collector and replaced him with Boris Fyodorov, a former Finance Minister and a true reformer. Yeltsin also announced plans...

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...
