...Spektr module, and some Russian commentators say he may have created the problem by entering the wrong numbers into a computer. At one point last week, ABC News reported that it was Tsibliyev who yanked the wrong plug and cut off the station's power.

Yuri Solovyov, the Leningrad regional party boss who had lost his uncontested election race for the new legislature, charged that Kremlin initiatives like the antialcoholism campaign and the program to foster cooperative businesses had been carried out with "inconsistency, haste and insufficient thought." Of perestroika, Solovyov said, the "minuses still significantly exceed the pluses."
