Russia faces fateful choice on cooperation with US
By Michael Wines,
New York Times, September 21, 2001
As American military operations move toward what could be the first deployment of Western troops on former Soviet soil, Russia's policy of giving the Western war on terrorism full moral support — and so far not much else — is about to hit a dead end. What the Kremlin does next in Central Asia has the potential to alter relations with Europe and the United States, for better or worse, for years to come. The Russians are clearly anguished by their options.

Soviet Veterans Warn United States
Associated Press, September 18, 2001
The prospect of a U.S. attack on Afghanistan brings an ominous message from veterans of the Soviet Union's decade-long war with Afghan guerrillas: You'll never win. "You can occupy it, you can put troops there and keep bombing, but you cannot win,'' said Lt. Gen. Ruslan Aushev, who was decorated for bravery during the 1979-89 war.

Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky on 18 September called for Moscow to take "a leading and aggressive" role in the antiterrorist campaign alongside the U.S. and Europe, RTR television reported. Indeed, Yavlinsky said, Russia should not wait for an American decision on what to do but help prepare joint actions, because such participation is in Russia's national interests.

World leaders list conditions on cooperation
By Patrick E. Tyler and Jane Perlez,
The New York Times, September 19, 2001
...an influential parliamentarian, Aleksei G. Arbatov, said although the consensus there was "total moral support" for the United States and the struggle against terrorism, there also existed a strong humanitarian concern "not to resort to massive strikes, to nonselective actions which are unjustified from the moral point of view, to avenge the death of thousands of innocent people with the deaths of tens of thousands of other innocent people."

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, March 30, 2001

Russia may play its own game
Nezavisimaya Gazeta, September 15, 2001
The experts we spoke with are convinced that Russia's foreign policy is pragmatic enough. The USA has already announced that retaliation for the recent terrorist attacks is inevitable. The countries which could face retaliatory strikes are Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Algeria, and Sudan. Many countries are expressing their readiness to assist the USA in this campaign, letting America use their military bases, territories and military resources.

Scandal intensifying Yabloko
By Olga Tropkina,
Nezavisimaya Gazeta, September 12, 2001, p. 2
The autumn political season has begun with a scandal in the Yabloko movement. The scandal was preceded by protracted opposition between Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky and former deputy leader Vyacheslav Igrunov. The other day another figure joined this argument: Andrei Sharomov, former chairman of the Moscow Youth Organization of Yabloko. He accused Yavlinsky of authoritarianism and the instigation of conflicts within the party "by Stalinist methods."

 

The Quiet Duma
By Yevgeny Zherebenkov,
Itogi, No. 36, September 2001, pp. 20-23
The 2002 draft budget submitted by the Cabinet, together with a whole package of unfinished bills, await Duma deputies. By the end of the year the Duma is supposed to adopt the Labour Code in the second reading and Land Code in the third and continue its work on pension reforms and tax-related legislation. The new budget is calculated with new tax tariffs already, and the most important issue of pension reforms has still to be resolved – where will the money be accumulated and who will control the money that Russians stash away against old age.

 

Battles over the new Criminal-Procedural Code continue
Izvestia, September 13, 2001, p. 6

Some of its items and provisions will lead to a further deterioration in the situation with civil rights and liberties. Others impede investigation and leave the guilty immune.

Sergei Mitrokhin, Sovetskiy Sakhalin, September 4, 2001
Recently laws allowing for the imports of spent nuclear fuel into Russia have come into force.

Yavlinsky: Resignation of Evgeni Primakov from the post of leader of the Fatherland-All Russia faction will not affect his political authority
RosBusinessConsulting, September 3, 2001
The resignation of Evgeni Primakov from the post of the leader of Fatherland-All Russia faction will not affect his political authority. This is how the Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky commented on the change of leadership in the Fatherland-All Russia faction. According to Yavlinsky, Primakov’s status as a national politician is more important than the nominal post of leader of one of the Duma factions.
