...Mymrino, the tiny village in Russia's Black Earth region where Zyuganov was born, memories burn brightly of the young, towheaded ''Genna" leading student brigades to pick potatoes at the nearby Red October collective farm...
...father Andrei, a peaceful man whose hobby was beekeeping, nearly lost his right leg to a German bullet in the fighting near Sevastopol and walked with a severe limp for the rest of his life. Like much of rural Russia, Mymrino still lacks plumbing and paved roads. The region suffered from the mass arrests and forced collectivization of Stalin's time, although you won't hear Zyuganov talk about that when he rhapsodizes about Russia's rural past in his speeches...

Today Panic has "no interest in politics," he says, preferring to act as an informal economic adviser to the region. He also still runs ICN, but his tenure has been troubled. Since 1993, he has twice been sued for sexual harassment and has successfully fought a challenge to his chairmanship. Last week ICN announced that a grand jury is probing Panic's sale of $1.2 million worth of ICN stock...
