Yeltsin's moves toward the Communists' positions have gone far beyond his economic "course corrections." He jettisoned his Foreign Minister, Andrei Kozyrev, and abused him, in the same terms used by the opposition, as being too pro-Western. Yeltsin has also usurped a fair amount of nationalist, great-power rhetoric, and he has signed a treaty with Belarus that permits people to believe he favors re-creating the old Soviet empire (a Communist priority). Suddenly too the old World War II Red Army "victory banner" has been ordered flown alongside Russia's new white-blue-and-red tricolor on occasions...
...DELHI: The national election in India is almost over, but the politicking has only just started. Despite winning the majority of seats in parliament, control of the government is not assured for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). On Monday a leftist coalition called the National Front moved to keep the BJP from power, and gained an endorsement from the Congress Party.

With 530 of the 537 parliamentary seats accounted...

Zyuganov is calling on all "patriots" to rally around his banner in the cause of a powerful Russian state, an alternative to the West. His basic appeal is to all who feel anger, pain and shame at the demise of the great Soviet Union and the decline...
...country's openness toward other religions and cultures remains its most remarkable feature. Despite its extreme wing, the SDA is the only nationalist party in Bosnia that gives some support to the idea of a multiethnic state. It has refrained from openly suppressing opposition parties, and it tolerates independent newspapers and radio that engage in lively and often critical public debate. Izetbegovic's party has also put some effort into cultivating relations with Croat and Serb communities, sponsoring funds for rebuilding Catholic and Serbian orthodox churches, as well as mosques...
