Yeltsin moves Gaidar out of the spotlight

Article Abstract:

Russian leader Boris Yeltsin replaced his finance minister Yegor Gaidar, 36, with Vasily Barchuk, 51, a career reformer. Mr Gaidar will still manage his successful team of economists. The International Monetary Fund supports their plans for moving Russia into the market. Gaidar had excellent Party credentials as his grandfather was Arkadi Gaidar, Red Army commander, who later founded Stalinist children's literature. Gaidar was a research analyst at Moscow State University economics faculty and the Institute for Sysstems Research of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He studied Western economics.

Russian history canters past coup plotters

Article Abstract:

Conspirators of the Aug 1991 Russian coup have still not been brought to trial a year later and are being forgotten by the people of Russia. Under Russian law defendants have to read all documentation and file their reports before the trial can commence; there are 125 volumes of evidence and 50, 3-hour video tapes. The Russian courts needs a few months to read the evidence itself and organise hearings. There are over 1,000 witnesses which will take a few months to be heard. There is a general feeling that the coup was planned by the former KGB.

Doling out the medicine

Article Abstract:

The first elected Russian president Boris Yeltsin, a strong nationalist, tries to impose economic reforms in a manner which disconcerts his allies at home and abroad. Russian citizens tend to ignore it. Mr Yeltsin is considered to be more of a democrat than a dictator. He will introduce some conservatives to cabinet posts before the Congress on Dec 01, 1992. They will introduce kinder reforms in the short term for social good and for political stability.
