With a communist President in the Kremlin and a red-led parliament, the future of opposition parties and the independent Russian press would be bleak. The most threatening outcome of a free election that brought Zyuganov and his ilk to power could be the end of free elections...
...elections will be held, but Secretary of State Warren Christopher sought reassurance when he met with Russian officials last week in Moscow. "Yeltsin is not going to give up power," says a senior Russian defense analyst. "His team will do everything it can to hold on to the Kremlin." How could the vote be prevented?

They may even have agreed with Yeltsin when he crowed that "mad dogs must be shot." But now Yeltsin and his hard-line Kremlin advisers are ready to cast aside the tentative peace agreement they worked out with breakaway Chechnya last summer...
