  • The Russia You Never Met

    The Russia You Never Met

    The Russia You Never Met MATT BIVENS AND JONAS BERNSTEIN fter staggering to reelection in summer 1996, President Boris Yeltsin A announced what had long been obvious: that he had a bad heart and needed surgery. Then he disappeared from view, leaving his prime minister, Viktor Cher- nomyrdin, and his chief of staff, Anatoly Chubais, to mind the Kremlin. For the next few months, Russians would tune in the morning news to learn if the presi- dent was still alive. Evenings they would tune in Chubais and Chernomyrdin to hear about a national emergency—no one was paying their taxes. Summer turned to autumn, but as Yeltsin’s by-pass operation approached, strange things began to happen. Chubais and Chernomyrdin suddenly announced the creation of a new body, the Cheka, to help the government collect taxes. In Lenin’s day, the Cheka was the secret police force—the forerunner of the KGB— that, among other things, forcibly wrested food and money from the peasantry and drove some of them into collective farms or concentration camps. Chubais made no apologies, saying that he had chosen such a historically weighted name to communicate the seriousness of the tax emergency.1 Western governments nod- ded their collective heads in solemn agreement. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank both confirmed that Russia was experiencing a tax collec- tion emergency and insisted that serious steps be taken.2 Never mind that the Russian government had been granting enormous tax breaks to the politically connected, including billions to Chernomyrdin’s favorite, Gazprom, the natural gas monopoly,3 and around $1 billion to Chubais’s favorite, Uneximbank,4 never mind the horrendous corruption that had been bleeding the treasury dry for years, or the nihilistic and pointless (and expensive) destruction of Chechnya.
  • The Siloviki in Russian Politics

    The Siloviki in Russian Politics

    The Siloviki in Russian Politics Andrei Soldatov and Michael Rochlitz Who holds power and makes political decisions in contemporary Russia? A brief survey of available literature in any well-stocked bookshop in the US or Europe will quickly lead one to the answer: Putin and the “siloviki” (see e.g. LeVine 2009; Soldatov and Borogan 2010; Harding 2011; Felshtinsky and Pribylovsky 2012; Lucas 2012, 2014 or Dawisha 2014). Sila in Russian means force, and the siloviki are the members of Russia’s so called “force ministries”—those state agencies that are authorized to use violence to respond to threats to national security. These armed agents are often portrayed—by journalists and scholars alike—as Russia’s true rulers. A conventional wisdom has emerged about their rise to dominance, which goes roughly as follows. After taking office in 2000, Putin reconsolidated the security services and then gradually placed his former associates from the KGB and FSB in key positions across the country (Petrov 2002; Kryshtanovskaya and White 2003, 2009). Over the years, this group managed to disable almost all competing sources of power and control. United by a common identity, a shared worldview, and a deep personal loyalty to Putin, the siloviki constitute a cohesive corporation, which has entrenched itself at the heart of Russian politics. Accountable to no one but the president himself, they are the driving force behind increasingly authoritarian policies at home (Illarionov 2009; Roxburgh 2013; Kasparov 2015), an aggressive foreign policy (Lucas 2014), and high levels of state predation and corruption (Dawisha 2014). While this interpretation contains elements of truth, we argue that it provides only a partial and sometimes misleading and exaggerated picture of the siloviki’s actual role.

The Armenian-Azerbaijan War for Nagorno-Karabakh, the hostilities in Georgia (South-Ossetia, Abkhazia), the clashes between Ossetians and Ingush within the Russian Federation, and last but not least the two large-scale Russian-Chechen Wars have drawn the attention of the international public to this up to then unknown region at the edge of Europe.

  • Nowhere to Turn but Yeltsin

    Nowhere to Turn but Yeltsin

    Nowhere to Turn But Yeltsin JOHN LLOYD he Russian intelligentsia, dispirited, shorn of influence, and broke, had a Tcolloquium in Literaturnava Gazeta in February on its relationship with power. Led off by the greatest of the surviving 1960s bards, Bulat Okudzhava-who said that Yeltsin had tumed away from a group that had represented his staunchest supporters when he was elected five years ago, and now "scorned" it because he and his cronies could not bear criticism-the colloquium was in the main a melancholic series of reflections. Most agreed with Okudzhava by lamenting the loss of a leader who had held out a promise of renewal, yet those who remained reluctantly loyal-and none were robust about being so-fell back on a recognition that speech was now free and that life under the Communists would be worse. Their collective posture was well summed up by the writer Andrei Bitov: The mark of a member of the intelligentsia, he said, was to stand for certain moral and intellectual values, and to have nothing to do with power. Those members of the intelligentsia who had expected more and tried to help Yeltsin achieve it have usually had their fingers burned. Some have resigned, some were sacked, a few cling on for the usual reason that to leave would be to hand their place to someone worse. The most famous defector was the former prisoner of conscience Sergei Kovalev, who served as Yeltsin's Human Rights Ombudsman, protested loudly and with great courage against the war in Chechnya (he spent many weeks under bombardment in Grozny, the Chechen capital), and finally resigned from the last of his official posts earlier this year.

  • The Yeltsin Regime

    The Yeltsin Regime

    THE YELTSIN REGIME K.S. Karol Translated by David Macey Who holds power in Russia? The question seems ridiculous. Since 12 December 1993, the country has had an ultra-presidential constitution and its architect, Boris Yeltsin, supposedly rules virtually unopposed. For a number of reasons that are the subject of fierce controversy in Moscow, he cannot do so. Various explanations have been put forward: his health, his lack of judgement when it comes to choosing his collaborators, or his inability to decide on the right policies. Some are already laying bets that he will not last until his mandate expires in June 1996; others, like Gennady Burbulis hope that he will complete his mandate 'with dignity' and then leave the stage. But does Boris Yeltsin himself have any intention of doing so? The Russian President has surrounded himself with a much larger staff than that of the Central Committee of the defunct CPSU. The President's administration employs 40,000 people and has an annual budget of three billion roubles. It pays the salaries of deputies and senators, the judges of the Constitutional Court and the state prosecutors. Running this little empire is no easy task, particularly in that those who belong to it are not bound together by any party discipline or solidarity. The 'old democrats' who brought Boris Yeltsin to power can be counted on the fingers of one hand. They have been replaced by so-called administrators recruited on the basis of whom they know. Access to 'Tsar Boris' counts for much more than an individual's place in the hierarchy.

  • Barkashov and the Ruissian Power Ministries, 1994-2000

    Barkashov and the Ruissian Power Ministries, 1994-2000

    Barkashov and the Ruissian Power Ministries, 1994-2000 JOHN B . DUNLOP T he Russian National Unity group (Russkoe natsional'noe edinstvo, or RNE) is "the largest of the unequivocally fascist organizations in Russia today," and as journalist Petr Akopov has observed, "[T]he basic mass of the adherents of the RNE are in the power [ministry] structures and among the youth, persons living, aboye all, in the Russian provinces."2 In this article 1 focus on the rela- tionship of the RNE to both active and former members of the Russian power ministries, from February 1994-when the members of the organization, like other participante in the October 1993 anti-Yeltsin uprising, were amnestied by the Russian State Duma-through the March 2000 Russian presidential elections. Alexander Barkashov, the self-styled führer of the RNE, is a political leader who has consistently benefited from Glose ties to the Russian military and police. In an interview published in early 1995, he said, "We [the RNE] see ourselves as an active reserve for the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs."3 Born in 1953, Barkashov served in the Russian military from 1972 to 1974. Although sources differ as to where precisely he did his service, it is known that he volunteered to go to Egypt to participate in a planned Soviet military effort to assist Egypt during the Egyptian-Israeli war of 1973; the rapid end of the war rendered Soviet aid unnecessary. The viruleni. anti-Semitism that Barkashov imbibed from a great-uncle (dvoyurodnyi ded) who was an instructor in the Com- munist Party Central Committee during Stalin's "anti-cosmopolitan campaign" may have been a factor behind his decision to volunteer.4 Following his demobilization from the army, Barkashov remained in the mil- itary reserves, with the title "lance-corporal in the reserves (instructor in hand-to- hand combat)"5 He also reportedly served as a trainer for Soviet military forces being sent to Afghanistan.6 John B.

This article is dedicated to the investigation of Alexander Litvinenko assassination, a former FSB officer, through the prism of the media. Using the concept of the process of predicting and generating published media content based on the theoretical frameworks of gatekeeping and agenda setting the authors of the article try to present the formed image of Litvinenko in the press. Evaluation of media materials was based on the nature of the arguments presented, proving one or another point of view. For example: accusation of involvement of the Russian authorities in the murder of Litvinenko; denial of involvement of Russian authorities in the murder of Litvinenko; Litvinenko’s circle: versions of the murder, assessment of these versions; image of Litvinenko; other estimates of events. Analysis of the books of famous journalists puts forward different versions of the death of a former FSB officer. As you know, among the many speculations about Litvinenko’s possible killers and their motives, the topic of the Russian president’s involvement in the Litvinenko case turned out to be the most controversial and at the same time widely discussed.
