AUTUMN
OF CHANGES?
By Alexander Romanovsky, Komsomolskaya Pravda,
August 22, 2000, p. 5
Observers and commentators cannot complain that
nothing has happened on the eve of the forthcoming
political autumn, which promises to be hot. How
can we assess the regime's relations with the political
elite? After all, the success or failure of the
reforms depends to a large extent on their support.

One of the principle changes in the tax system,
which will be discussed by the Duma today, concerns
the transition in VAT payments with CIS countries

MOSCOW – Hidden behind a high concrete wall
on the southern edge of Moscow is a cluster
of dachas for the Russian government elite.

Der

Grigorij Jawlinskij hat den Westen angesichts
der russischen Wirtschaftskrise zu ehrliehen
und direkten Verhandlungen mit Ru?land aufgefordert.

W.A. DAVOS, 31. Januar. Die Absicht
der Vereinigten Staaten, sich mit einem Raketenabwehrsystem
zum Schutz gegen terroristische Anschl?ge auszustatten,
hat auf russischer Seite ein entsprechendes
Echo gefunden: In Moskau wird dem Vernehmen
nach ernsthaft erwogen, darauf mit dem Vorschlag
an die europ?ischen Nato-Staaten zu reagieren,
gemeinsam mit Ru?land ein ?hnliches System auf
dem alten Kontinent zu installieren. Wie beim
Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos am Wochenende
zu erfahren war, wurde diese Idee der amerikanischen
Au?enministerin Albright unl?ngst bei ihrem
Besuch in Moskau vorgetragen. Sie soll die Anregung
„h?chst aufmerksam und positiv" zur Kenntnis
genommen haben, sagte der russische Oppositionspolitiker
Jawlinskij, der diesen Plan der amerikanischen
Besucherin erl?uterte und sich nach eigenem
Bekunden in dieser Hinsicht mit dem russischen
Ministerpr?sidenten Primakow einer Meinung wei?.

structure.
