Gorbachev's turn to the right has been accelerating for several months. Some analysts date it from last October, when he lost the support of the country's liberals by backing away from the radical 500-day economic-reform plan put forward by his former adviser Stanislav Shatalin. It became obvious that he was relying on the security apparatus to enforce Moscow's will and was handing over the future of perestroika to the party and its military-industrial complex. While those power centers are still strong, they are also the most interested in preserving the status...
...discarded since last December like so many bottles of vodka at a wild bash. What especially angered Yeltsin and other crash reformers was their feeling that Gorbachev had betrayed them, first by saying he approved of the 500-Day Plan devised by a team under presidential councilor and economist Stanislav Shatalin, then by opting for a much vaguer, slower schedule outlined by Gorbachev adviser Abel Aganbegyan. The compromise attempted to reconcile the imperatives of reform with the fears of many central-government leaders -- army generals and KGB men not the least among them -- of turbocharging a broken-down sleigh...

...program, known as the 500 Day Plan, with or without Kremlin approval. Then, in a dramatic about-face last month, Gorbachev invited the Russians to submit their scheme as the basis for a new economic program for the central government, to be drafted by a commission led by economist Stanislav Shatalin, a member of the group of Gorbachev advisers who make up the Presidential Council. The decision to join forces with Yeltsin was a masterstroke. By siding with the maverick Russian leader, who enjoys widespread popular support, Gorbachev improved his chances of pushing through reforms in an increasingly fractious country...
