...Still, the Russian political and military brass would much rather let the Barents sea keep the evidence of their own fault than ever admit it, believes Vice-Admiral (R) Yevgeni Chernov. A sailor with 33 years experience in the silent service and once a fabled commander of the Northern Fleet nuclear submarines, Chernov contends that the raising operation was intentionally launched as a cover-up to leave the Kursk on the sea floor...
...Media-Most has left Russia without any credible voice to challenge the information machine of an increasingly authoritarian government. And as Putin's grip on the media tightened last week, so did his control of Russian party politics. Otechestvo, a party headed by former Putin rivals Yuri Luzhkov and Yevgeni Primakov, announced that it would merge with the pro-Putin Yedvinstvo party in November; two more Duma factions threw their lot in with the new force, giving the government a 235-vote majority.

Putin, however, will have an advantage that Primakov lacked: he will be President...
...Russia, but unfortunately, he has not lived up to such ideals since then. Plagued by ill health, Yeltsin's competence as a leader has long been suspect. Corruption, crime and economic malaise flourished in Russia over the last few years. A criminal investigation instigated by then-Prime Minister Yevgeni Primakov in early 1999 did little to improve Yeltsin's image. Yeltsin, the first democratically elected Russian president, is better known for bravado than diplomacy. His abrupt moves marked a politician more concerned with his personal future than that of his nation...
