Then, I received a call from Echo Moskvi, the last liberal Moscow Radio station, which is something of an on-air Hyde Park for limited numbers of intellectuals, a small arena for them to spout off, not unlike the old Soviet-era Literaturnaya Gazeta. I explained as briefly as I could: it's not an endorsement or a distinction. Hitler and Stalin were Men of the Year, because they left indelible imprints on their respective years' events, which were to influence history. TIME journalists are like investigators who explore, gather and present facts on the assigned case as thoroughly...
...stories have surfaced in such usually well-informed journals as Moscow News and Literaturnaya Gazeta. The first flock of rumors suggested that a pro- democracy, antigovernment rally in Moscow would serve as the pretext for the coup. The rally came and went with little incident. The rumors bubbled on -- even though conspiracy theorists cannot agree on who is supposed to be plotting against whom. While most talk is of a coup mounted by military conservatives eager to institute a law-and-order regime, Vladimir Petrunya, a commentator for TASS, has charged that it is reformist radicals who want to overthrow...
...newspapers in their laps. Here was Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the exiled dissident, writing a polemic about the nation's current crisis in the pages of nothing less than Komsomolskaya Pravda (circ. 22 million), the mouthpiece of the Young Communist League.

The front page of Izvestia asked last week, "Will there be perestroika or not?" Literaturnaya Gazeta echoed the question, commenting, "All the weak points are coming to the fore, regardless of which region you try to assess." A group of liberal parliamentarians demanded a special session of the legislature to discuss the crisis in the Caucasus. Said People's Deputy Sergei Stankevich: "There is a civil...
...traveling to such a provincial and undeveloped place. "There's a Russian saying: the Tambov wolf is your comrade." I remembered his sneering tone as I stared at the flat landscape from the two- bunk compartment I was sharing with Yuri Shchekochikhin, a commentator from the Soviet weekly Literaturnaya Gazeta. So, you are heading off into the wilds of Russia? See for yourself how far the reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev have gone. An image came to mind of perestroika as a stalled tractor, sinking ever deeper into the rich black earth of the Tambov region. It was a common Moscow...
