Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin, who just returned from the United States, briefed President Boris Yeltsin on Thursday about his recent trip.
The two Russian leaders were meeting on Thursday at the Kremlin to discuss a new I-M-F loan for Russia and the status of renewed talks concerning arms control.
Stepashin's visit was intended to ease troubled relations between the U-S and Russia over the NATO bombing campaign in Yugoslavia.
Yeltsin supported his Prime Minister's visit and welcomed Stepashin's good news.
Shortly after Stepashin returned to Moscow, the I-M-F announced a 4.5 (b) billion U-S dollar loan for Russia, the largest credit for the country since its financial markets crashed last August.
Stepashin addressed members of the government.
TRANSLATION OF SOUNDBITES TO FOLLOW...
Stepashin and Vice President Al Gore also agreed to open the U-S - Russian talks next month aimed at deeper cuts in both countries' nuclear arsenals.
After his meeting with Yeltsin, Stepashin said Gore would visit Moscow in the fall to hold the next session of the joint U.S.-Russian commission.
Stepashin said that the U-S administration also promised to take steps by the fall so that Russia is internationally recognized as a free-market economy - an assessment that is expected to lift some existing barriers in trade relations.

Natural Sound
The United States and Russia have agreed to start a new round of nuclear talks, to begin next month in Moscow.
The negotiations are aimed at reducing their long-range nuclear weapons.
The decision was announced as talks between Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and U-S Vice-President Gore closed in Washington on Tuesday.
The Russian prime minister's visit to the U-S is geared towards restoring bilateral relations, strained following an angry rift over NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia.
High on the agenda - the nuclear weapons issue.
In 1993, both countries agreed to reduce their arsenals of long-range nuclear warheads so that neither side would have more than three and a half thousand in possession.
The Russian legislature has yet to ratify that accord.
Even so, Vice-President Al Gore and Premier Sergei Stepashin on Tuesday announced that both countries would begin discussions on a START III treaty in Moscow next month.
Gore told a packed news conference that the area of missile technology was one where the two countries could work closer together.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We have not put any time limit on concluding renegotiations of the ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile) treaty or a completion of a START III Treaty. We did conclude that we would continue full speed ahead without regard to the election cycles either in Russia or in the United States and we had some very productive discussions as the Prime Minister indicated about the shared assumptions that will guide our conversations and our work together and I'm more optimistic about our ability to reach a successful result in both areas."
SUPER CAPTION: Al Gore, U-S Vice President
Analysts say the actions in the arms control arena were not big steps, but they represented an effort to work together, at least in areas of mutual interest.
And the Russian prime minister explained that it was time for the two countries to enter the 21st century as friends."
SOUNDBITE: (Russian, English translation)
"Carefully studying, and I understood this from my contacts with Vice President Gore and with President Clinton, that here there is understanding that at least this issue can be moved forward so that the United States and Russia can more actively work on ABM defence together. A new system of ABM defences is being raised in the United States and you know that there has recently been a law pass in the United States regarding this, this is being done not because of a threat from Russia but because of countries with complex, difficult regimes, narrow regimes. This is a danger for Russia as well and I think here again we should work in a consolidated manner together."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Although Stepashin is in the U-S to secure economic assistance, the subject of the conflict in Yugoslavia dominated his first full business day in Washington, DC.
Russia, a traditional Serb ally, opposed force as a remedy for ethnic violence in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo.
Stepashin also met a host of U-S politicians and representatives of both political parties Republican and Democratic.
Later in the day, he met World Bank President James Wolfensohn to discuss the country's economic situation.
Afterwards, the World Bank chief told reporters the bank was supportive of Stepashin's administration.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well we had a very constructive meeting and I confirmed to Prime Minister Stepashin the very positive feelings that we have towards his administration at his governments efforts to face up to the structural issues relating to the development of his economy."

Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has told hundreds of American business people that his country's economy needs further privatisation.
Speaking on the first day of his visit to Washington DC, he also stressed that there would be no return to the dark days of the "Cold War" between Russia and the U-S.
Sergei Stepashin's arrival in Washington late on Monday afternoon was a clear sign that Russia and the U-S are attempting to mend a rift that developed over Kosovo.
Bilateral tension was triggered by NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia and exacerbated by such incidents as Russian tanks beating NATO peacekeepers into Kosovo.
The central mission of Stepashin's visit will be to mend these relations.
Hours after his arrival, Stepashin told business leaders at a hotel near the White House that he hoped there would be no more political and military upheavals.
He stressed that nothing would take Russia and the U-S "back to the Cold War".
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Which I believe leads me to a very tough and the biggest conclusion. Mainly, that no political or military upheavals, and I hope there won't be any more military upheavals, whatever happened in Kosovo and Yugoslavia is a good lesson for us, but nothing will throw us back to the Cold War."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
He also offered assurances that his country's rocky economy was on the upswing and that American investors could come to Russia "without fear of racketeers".
The former counter-intelligence chief told his audience of business people that accounts of "criminalisation" in the transition from state controls were exaggerated.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Again in order for the investors not to leave and to stimulate and spur new investments, the first of these steps, the first of these priorities, is the new law on foreign investments that was already adopted and the second one will be developing a regulatory base to implement this specific law and to work within the council that I already talked about - this law enforcement element that I was talking about, this working out of long term investment and cooperation programs and projects."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
During his visit, Stepashin hopes to persuade the International Monetary Fund to resume lending to help his country's battered economy.
On Wednesday, the I-M-F is expected to approve a 630 (M) million U-S dollars loan based on findings that the Russian parliament has moved to adopt Western-style measures to protect foreign investors.

Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has said differences between Russia and the United States over the rebuilding of Yugoslavia have now been resolved.
Visiting Washington on Tuesday, Stepashin, said before meeting with congressional leaders that he believed progress had been made on the issue.
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin's second day in the United States began with breakfast at Vice President Al Gore's Washington residence.
The two men had a private meeting before the new Russian Prime Minister headed to Capitol Hill to meet Congressional leaders.
Stepashin said he would take up several issues with U-S President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore during the day.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian with English translation)
"We met on some issues, complicated delicate issues which as a rule are not raised at the official talks. These are the problems our trade relations, economic relations, the problem of Yugoslavia, nuclear technologies and the control and prosperous of the future work of our nations. We also talked about the situation in our country and I was interested in knowing them a vision of our situation and that was my first personal meeting. Sometimes the first meeting is more important."

Stepashin's visit is designed to help overcome the discord stemming from the bombing that ousted Yugoslav troops from Kosovo.

Stepashin hopes his trip to Washington will result in the approval Wednesday from the International Monetary Fund of a 630 (m) million U-S dollar loan.
The loan is based, in part, on findings by the I-M-F that the Russian parliament has moved to adopt Western-style measures to protect foreign investors.

It appears some of the differences between Russia and the United States over the rebuilding of Yugoslavia may have been eased.
Visiting Washington, Russia's new prime minister, Sergei Stepashin, said on Tuesday that he believed progress had been made on the issue.
Stepashin urged the Clinton administration to provide assistance to 10 million (m) Serbs who face winter without enough fuel and water.
Although the new Russian Prime Minister is in Washington to secure economic assistance, the subject of the conflict in Yugoslavia has dominated his first full business day in Washington.
Russia, a traditional Serb ally, opposed the use of force as a remedy for ethnic violence in the Yugoslav province.
Stepashin's visit is designed to help overcome the discord stemming from the bombing that ousted Serb troops from Kosovo.
Once the fighting ended, Russian troops found themselves side-by-side with NATO forces in the K-FOR peacekeeping mission, but not without further disagreements over troop positions and the chain of command in the mission.
The Russian leader on Tuesday tried to clarify his country's support for giving aid to Yugoslavia.
The United States continues to rule out giving any reconstruction funds while Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic remains in power.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian, English translation)
"First of all, this is the situation which has to do with subsequent work on resolving the crisis in Yugoslavia and I also would like to resolve some tensions which emerged also in the U-S administration, in the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in terms of the Russian positions as to aid Yugoslavia."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin made his pitch for the Serbs in a friendly way.
He said he thought an agreement could be worked out and that relations with the United States had turned a corner.
But Stepashin humanitarian aid for Serbs will be needed soon.
SOUNDBITE: ( Russian, English translation)
"However when the winter sets in, there will be a humanitarian catastrophe in the very heart of Europe. There are no roads, enterprises have been destroyed, there are no gas supplies, no water supply in many areas of the country."

Lott waved off questions from reporters who were ushered out as the formal meeting started in a Senate anteroom.

Russia's acting prime minister is wooing lawmakers with promises to clamp down on financial crime.
Sergei Stepashin's efforts come on the eve of his confirmation vote by the lower house of parliament.
However Stepashin also got tough with lawmakers, threatening renewed confrontation with the Duma if it doesn't pass fiscal reforms required by the International Monetary Fund for a new loan.
Overshadowing the entire day's discussions though, was Boris Yeltsin's health.
Acting Russian Prime Minister, Sergei Stepashin is continuing to woo parliamentary deputies, prior to a vote of confidence by the Duma on Wednesday.
However Stepashin could not escape the media's interests in reports of further health problems plaguing President Yeltsin.
Yeltsin cancelled a meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on Tuesday.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Everything is okay with Yeltsin, I discussed all the problems with Aznar on Monday."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister
In the Duma, Stepashin met with representatives of the four main parliamentary factions, beginning with the left-wing opposition, led by communist leader Gennady Zyuganov.
On the agenda, the need for the Duma to pass legislation in order to satisfy International Monetary Fund loan requirements.
The economic reforms required for the I-M-F loan were part of a deal reached by former premier Yevgeny Primakov, but hard-liners in the Duma are still less than enthusiastic about the package.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"The Duma needs to pass legislation in order to satisfy the International Monetary Fund's requirements"
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister
Later Stepashin met with the traditionally pro-government 'Our Home is Russia' party and the 'Yabloko' party led by liberal economist Grigory Yavlinsky.
If a majority of the Duma vote for Stepashin, then his appointment by Yeltsin will be confirmed.
Overshadowing the Duma negotiations though, is the ever present question of Boris Yeltsin's health.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I spoke to the President yesterday." Question: How do you assess his health?
"Well, what do you make of it? Thank you for your smile."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister
'Our Home is Russia' leader Vladimir Ryzhkov, believes the problem is not that complicated.

"We haven't heard anything about Yeltsin's health. We're dealing with the questions assigned to us. If he is ill, he should go and get treatment from the doctors."

Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has said Russian peacekeepers destined for Kosovo will treat ethnic Albanians and Serbs equally.
NATO is concerned that Russia may disrupt the peace process in Kosovo by favouring the Serb community.
Most Serbs and Russians share the same Christian Orthodox religion and the two countries have had close ties for centuries.
Russia strongly opposed NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia when it began in March, and it's efforts are now directed at establishing a presence in Yugoslavia alongside NATO-led forces.
Russian troops surprised and embarrassed NATO by rolling into the airport in the Kosovo capital, Pristina, a day ahead of the alliance.
Their occupation of the airport, a vital strategic site for any long term peacekeeping operation in Kosovo, led to a special summit in Finland.
A deal was reached which denied Russia its own sector in the province but allowed soldiers to work alongside American and German soldiers.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I think the exodus of Serbs from Kosovo should stop, and this was one of the main issues raised in Cologne by me and Boris Nikolayevich (Yeltsin). There will be about 4,000, or 3,600 Russian peacekeepers, who won't be deployed in one separate sector, as we had planned before, but will be together with American and German troops in several sectors."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Prime Minister of Russia
NATO says it will protect the Serbs remaining in Kosovo but few Serbs believe that is possible and many are fleeing the province.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It is a complex problem. I'm glad the Cologne Eight has ruled out double standards: favouring the Kosovars while neglecting the Serbs' rights. We should protect any person, irrespective of nationality. This is going to be our main task."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Prime Minister of Russia
As Serb villages in Kosovo become ghost towns, neighbouring ethnic Albanians race to loot and destroy as much Serb property as possible.
The Kosovo Liberation Army have now agreed to hand over their weapons, but their hatred for the Serbs lives on, and civilian ethnic Albanians are finishing the mission started by their freedom fighters.

The first day of the Group of Eight summit meeting in Cologne has ended with Western leaders mending fences with Russia over the Kosovo conflict.
Although moves by Russia to allow Kosovo to be rebuild while Slobodan Milosevic remains in power were thwarted by the NATO allies, Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said Russia was satisfied with the role it was playing within the G-8.
The Group of Eight, or G-8, is the world's leading industrialized democracies, plus Russia.
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said that the question of Russia's 'full and effective' participation in the Group of Eight had been resolved.
Stepashin was in Cologne on Saturday to attend a summit meeting of the leaders of the world's seven major industrialised countries and Russia, known as the Group of Eight, or G-8.
Speaking at a news conference, he said Russia's position in the G-8 group of nation fully met Russia's national interests.
Stepashin stressed that talks between the G-8 countries focused primarily on the situation in Kosovo.
He said Russia's main concern was that human rights were observed throughout the province, on both the Serb and ethnic Albanian sides.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Human rights of all ethnic and national groups should be observed. The specifics of the deployment of the Russian peacekeeping units in the sectors is determined just by this."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Yeltsin, meanwhile, spent Saturday at his country residence outside Moscow preparing for his trip to Cologne on Sunday, for the final day of the G-8 summit.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It is of principal importance (the Helsinki agreement), and this will be confirmed tomorrow in the presence of our president, that there should not be double standards on human rights in Kosovo."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin said Russia had a crucial role to play in the settlement of the Kosovo crisis, and what had been agreed at this week's talks in Helsinki would be in the interests of both Russia and the NATO allies.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I consider it a very good decision. For a start, there are several sectors. Secondly, the Americans, the British and the French - and that is a big thank you to us because we are resolving an ethnic problem, believe me. Here are the Kosovars, here we are and here are the Serbs, and together with the Yankees and the Germans, we are resolving this problem. This is an ideal working scheme. I think everybody is satisfied because they agreed yesterday."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Yeltsin's spokesman, Dmitry Yakushkin, indicated Russia would not sign off on a final statement on Kosovo until after the Russian president arrived on Sunday.
But he said there would be no surprises when it comes to ratifying the agreement, and that Russia would comply with the resolutions set by the United Nations (U-N).
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We will be implementing practically the United Nations Resolution and everything that you see there (that this entails), and our role is to stick to the resolution."
SUPER CAPTION: Dmitry Yakushkin, Spokesman to Russian President Boris Yeltsin
A deal was reached in Helsinki on Friday night that allows Russian troops to serve under Russian command in the U-S, French and German-controlled sectors of Kosovo.
It also allows Russia to keep 750 soldiers at Pristina airport.

Sergei Vadimovich Stepashin (Серге́й Вади́мович Степа́шин) (born 2 March 1952, Lüshunkou, China) is a Russian politician, current Chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation and former Prime Minister of Russia. He was appointed federal security minister by President Boris Yeltsin in 1994. He resigned his position in 1995 as a consequence of the Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis.
Sergei Stepashin graduated from the Higher Political School of the USSR Ministry of the Interior (1973), in 1981 - from the Military and Political Academy, in 2002 - from the Finance Academy. He is a Doctor of Law, Professor, and has a rank of the State Advisor on Justice of the Russian Federation. His Military rank is Colonel-General.
He became justice minister, serving from 1997 to March 1998, and interior minister, holding that office from March 1998 to May 1999, when he was appointed and confirmed by parliament as prime minister. Yeltsin made it fairly clear when he appointed him Prime Minister that Stepashin would only hold the position temporarily, and he was replaced in August 1999 by future president Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин; IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪtɕ ˈputʲɪn] (
listen); born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician who has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008 and as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000, and again from 2008 to 2012. Putin also serves as chairman of United Russia and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Union of Russia and Belarus. He became acting President on 31 December 1999, when president Boris Yeltsin resigned in a surprising move. Putin won the 2000 presidential election; in 2004 he was re-elected for a second term lasting until 7 May 2008.
Because of constitutionally mandated term limits, Putin was ineligible to run for a third consecutive presidential term. After his successor Dmitry Medvedev won the 2008 presidential election, Putin was nominated by Medvedev to be Russia's Prime Minister; Putin took office on 8 May 2008 and a period of so-called "tandemocracy" followed. In September 2011, Putin and Medvedev agreed he should seek a third, non-consecutive term in the 2012 presidential election, which he won in the first round on 4 March 2012.

Natural Sound The United States and Russia have agreed to start a new round of nuclear talks, to begin next month in Moscow. The negotiations are aimed at reducing their long-range nuclear weapons. The decision was announced as talks between Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and U-S Vice-President Gore closed in Washington on Tuesday. The Russian prime minister's visit to the U-S is geared towards restoring bilateral relations, strained following an angry rift over NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia. High on the agenda - the nuclear weapons issue. In 1993, both countries agreed to reduce their arsenals of long-range nuclear warheads so that neither side would have more than three and a half thousand in possession.

We did conclude that we would continue full speed ahead without regard to the election cycles either in Russia or in the United States and we had some very productive discussions as the Prime Minister indicated about the shared assumptions that will guide our conversations and our work together and I'm more optimistic about our ability to reach a successful result in both areas."

SOUNDBITE: (Russian, English translation) "Carefully studying, and I understood this from my contacts with Vice President Gore and with President Clinton, that here there is understanding that at least this issue can be moved forward so that the United States and Russia can more actively work on ABM defence together. A new system of ABM defences is being raised in the United States and you know that there has recently been a law pass in the United States regarding this, this is being done not because of a threat from Russia but because of countries with complex, difficult regimes, narrow regimes. This is a danger for Russia as well and I think here again we should work in a consolidated manner together."

USA: RUSSIAN PM STEPASHIN VISITUSA: RUSSIAN PM STEPASHIN VISIT
English/Nat Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has told hundreds of American business people that his country's economy needs further privatisation. Speaking on the first day of his visit to Washington DC, he also stressed that there would be no return to the dark days of the "Cold War" between Russia and the U-S. Sergei Stepashin's arrival in Washington late on Monday afternoon was a clear sign that Russia and the U-S are attempting to mend a rift that developed over Kosovo. Bilateral tension was triggered by NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia and exacerbated by such incidents as Russian tanks beating NATO peacekeepers into Kosovo. The central mission of Stepashin's visit will be to mend these relations. Hours after his arrival, Stepashin told business leaders at a hotel near the White House that he hoped there would be no more political and military upheavals. He stressed that nothing would take Russia and the U-S "back to the Cold War". SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Which I believe leads me to a very tough and the biggest conclusion. Mainly, that no political or military upheavals, and I hope there won't be any more military upheavals, whatever happened in Kosovo and Yugoslavia is a good lesson for us, but nothing will throw us back to the Cold War." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister He also offered assurances that his country's rocky economy was on the upswing and that American investors could come to Russia "without fear of racketeers". The former counter-intelligence chief told his audience of business people that accounts of "criminalisation" in the transition from state controls were exaggerated. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Again in order for the investors not to leave and to stimulate and spur new investments, the first of these steps, the first of these priorities, is the new law on foreign investments that was already adopted and the second one will be developing a regulatory base to implement this specific law and to work within the council that I already talked about - this law enforcement element that I was talking about, this working out of long term investment and cooperation programs and projects." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister During his visit, Stepashin hopes to persuade the International Monetary Fund to resume lending to help his country's battered economy. On Wednesday, the I-M-F is expected to approve a 630 (M) million U-S dollars loan based on findings that the Russian parliament has moved to adopt Western-style measures to protect foreign investors.

Russian/Eng/Nat It appears some of the differences between Russia and the United States over the rebuilding of Yugoslavia may have been eased. Visiting Washington, Russia's new prime minister, Sergei Stepashin, said on Tuesday that he believed progress had been made on the issue. Stepashin urged the Clinton administration to provide assistance to 10 million (m) Serbs who face winter without enough fuel and water. Although the new Russian Prime Minister is in Washington to secure economic assistance, the subject of the conflict in Yugoslavia has dominated his first full business day in Washington. Russia, a traditional Serb ally, opposed the use of force as a remedy for ethnic violence in the Yugoslav province. Stepashin's visit is designed to help overcome the discord stemming from the bombing that ousted Serb troops from Kosovo. Once the fighting ended, Russian troops found themselves side-by-side with NATO forces in the K-FOR peacekeeping mission, but not without further disagreements over troop positions and the chain of command in the mission. The Russian leader on Tuesday tried to clarify his country's support for giving aid to Yugoslavia. The United States continues to rule out giving any reconstruction funds while Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic remains in power. SOUNDBITE: (Russian, English translation) "First of all, this is the situation which has to do with subsequent work on resolving the crisis in Yugoslavia and I also would like to resolve some tensions which emerged also in the U-S administration, in the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in terms of the Russian positions as to aid Yugoslavia." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister Stepashin made his pitch for the Serbs in a friendly way. He said he thought an agreement could be worked out and that relations with the United States had turned a corner. But Stepashin humanitarian aid for Serbs will be needed soon. SOUNDBITE: ( Russian, English translation) "However when the winter sets in, there will be a humanitarian catastrophe in the very heart of Europe. There are no roads, enterprises have been destroyed, there are no gas supplies, no water supply in many areas of the country." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister Earlier, Stepashin visited Capitol Hill where he met with leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Russian/Nat Russia's acting prime minister is wooing lawmakers with promises to clamp down on financial crime. Sergei Stepashin's efforts come on the eve of his confirmation vote by the lower house of parliament. However Stepashin also got tough with lawmakers, threatening renewed confrontation with the Duma if it doesn't pass fiscal reforms required by the International Monetary Fund for a new loan. Overshadowing the entire day's discussions though, was Boris Yeltsin's health. Acting Russian Prime Minister, Sergei Stepashin is continuing to woo parliamentary deputies, prior to a vote of confidence by the Duma on Wednesday. However Stepashin could not escape the media's interests in reports of further health problems plaguing President Yeltsin. Yeltsin cancelled a meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on Tuesday. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Everything is okay with Yeltsin, I discussed all the problems with Aznar on Monday." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister In the Duma, Stepashin met with representatives of the four main parliamentary factions, beginning with the left-wing opposition, led by communist leader Gennady Zyuganov. On the agenda, the need for the Duma to pass legislation in order to satisfy International Monetary Fund loan requirements. The economic reforms required for the I-M-F loan were part of a deal reached by former premier Yevgeny Primakov, but hard-liners in the Duma are still less than enthusiastic about the package. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "The Duma needs to pass legislation in order to satisfy the International Monetary Fund's requirements" SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister Later Stepashin met with the traditionally pro-government 'Our Home is Russia' party and the 'Yabloko' party led by liberal economist Grigory Yavlinsky. If a majority of the Duma vote for Stepashin, then his appointment by Yeltsin will be confirmed. Overshadowing the Duma negotiations though, is the ever present question of Boris Yeltsin's health. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I spoke to the President yesterday." Question: How do you assess his health? "Well, what do you make of it? Thank you for your smile." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister 'Our Home is Russia' leader Vladimir Ryzhkov, believes the problem is not that complicated. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "We haven't heard anything about Yeltsin's health. We're dealing with the questions assigned to us. If he is ill, he should go and get treatment from the doctors." SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Ryzhkov, 'Our Home is Russia' Leader Stepashin says he plans to make few changes to the makeup of the Cabinet and he's promised that two deputy prime ministers, Valentina Matviyenko and Vladimir Bulgak, will retain their posts.

RUSSIA: PRIME MINISTER STEPASHIN ON KOSOVO SITUATIONRUSSIA: PRIME MINISTER STEPASHIN ON KOSOVO SITUATION
Russian/Nat Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has said Russian peacekeepers destined for Kosovo will treat ethnic Albanians and Serbs equally. NATO is concerned that Russia may disrupt the peace process in Kosovo by favouring the Serb community. Most Serbs and Russians share the same Christian Orthodox religion and the two countries have had close ties for centuries. Russia strongly opposed NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia when it began in March, and it's efforts are now directed at establishing a presence in Yugoslavia alongside NATO-led forces. Russian troops surprised and embarrassed NATO by rolling into the airport in the Kosovo capital, Pristina, a day ahead of the alliance. Their occupation of the airport, a vital strategic site for any long term peacekeeping operation in Kosovo, led to a special summit in Finland. A deal was reached which denied Russia its own sector in the province but allowed soldiers to work alongside American and German soldiers. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I think the exodus of Serbs from Kosovo should stop, and this was one of the main issues raised in Cologne by me and Boris Nikolayevich (Yeltsin). There will be about 4,000, or 3,600 Russian peacekeepers, who won't be deployed in one separate sector, as we had planned before, but will be together with American and German troops in several sectors." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Prime Minister of Russia NATO says it will protect the Serbs remaining in Kosovo but few Serbs believe that is possible and many are fleeing the province. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "It is a complex problem. I'm glad the Cologne Eight has ruled out double standards: favouring the Kosovars while neglecting the Serbs' rights. We should protect any person, irrespective of nationality. This is going to be our main task." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Prime Minister of Russia As Serb villages in Kosovo become ghost towns, neighbouring ethnic Albanians race to loot and destroy as much Serb property as possible. The Kosovo Liberation Army have now agreed to hand over their weapons, but their hatred for the Serbs lives on, and civilian ethnic Albanians are finishing the mission started by their freedom fighters.

GERMANY: STEPASHIN ATTENDS G8 SUMMIT MEETINGGERMANY: STEPASHIN ATTENDS G8 SUMMIT MEETING
Eng/Russ/Nat The first day of the Group of Eight summit meeting in Cologne has ended with Western leaders mending fences with Russia over the Kosovo conflict. Although moves by Russia to allow Kosovo to be rebuild while Slobodan Milosevic remains in power were thwarted by the NATO allies, Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said Russia was satisfied with the role it was playing within the G-8. The Group of Eight, or G-8, is the world's leading industrialized democracies, plus Russia. Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said that the question of Russia's 'full and effective' participation in the Group of Eight had been resolved. Stepashin was in Cologne on Saturday to attend a summit meeting of the leaders of the world's seven major industrialised countries and Russia, known as the Group of Eight, or G-8. Speaking at a news conference, he said Russia's position in the G-8 group of nation fully met Russia's national interests. Stepashin stressed that talks between the G-8 countries focused primarily on the situation in Kosovo. He said Russia's main concern was that human rights were observed throughout the province, on both the Serb and ethnic Albanian sides. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Human rights of all ethnic and national groups should be observed. The specifics of the deployment of the Russian peacekeeping units in the sectors is determined just by this." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister Yeltsin, meanwhile, spent Saturday at his country residence outside Moscow preparing for his trip to Cologne on Sunday, for the final day of the G-8 summit. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "It is of principal importance (the Helsinki agreement), and this will be confirmed tomorrow in the presence of our president, that there should not be double standards on human rights in Kosovo." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister Stepashin said Russia had a crucial role to play in the settlement of the Kosovo crisis, and what had been agreed at this week's talks in Helsinki would be in the interests of both Russia and the NATO allies. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I consider it a very good decision. For a start, there are several sectors. Secondly, the Americans, the British and the French - and that is a big thank you to us because we are resolving an ethnic problem, believe me. Here are the Kosovars, here we are and here are the Serbs, and together with the Yankees and the Germans, we are resolving this problem. This is an ideal working scheme. I think everybody is satisfied because they agreed yesterday." SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister Yeltsin's spokesman, Dmitry Yakushkin, indicated Russia would not sign off on a final statement on Kosovo until after the Russian president arrived on Sunday. But he said there would be no surprises when it comes to ratifying the agreement, and that Russia would comply with the resolutions set by the United Nations (U-N). SOUNDBITE: (English) "We will be implementing practically the United Nations Resolution and everything that you see there (that this entails), and our role is to stick to the resolution." SUPER CAPTION: Dmitry Yakushkin, Spokesman to Russian President Boris Yeltsin A deal was reached in Helsinki on Friday night that allows Russian troops to serve under Russian command in the U-S, French and German-controlled sectors of Kosovo. It also allows Russia to keep 750 soldiers at Pristina airport.

RUSSIA: CHECHNYA: PARTISAN BRIGADESRUSSIA: CHECHNYA: PARTISAN BRIGADES
Natural Sound The head of Russia's intelligence agency has declared that the war in Chechnya is nearly over. Sergei Stepashin says forces loyal to Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev have ' ceased to exist'. Ahead of May's VE celebrations in Moscow , Russia is keen to allay western concern over bloodshed in the rebel republic. But in the southern hills of Chechnya partisan brigades are digging in for a long war of attrition against Russian troops. It is territory they know well, the mountainous southern region of Chechnya is historically the backbone of resistance to Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the last century. The sound of jet fighters regularly breaks the woodland silence as reconnaissance flights scour the countryside for Chechen rebel strongholds. Travelling light, the fighters live off the land eating berries or dried meat. These fighters are from Shali, the last of Chechnya's major towns to fall to the Russians. The sound of the last artillery exchanges can be heard all around. New dugouts are being made each day in a network spanning the region. Two Russian conscript prisoners of war were evacuated from Shali along with the rebels. In the evening, the men clean their weapons while the women accompanying the brigade clean up. Tight Russian security around the towns has meant that weapons supplies to the rebels have dried up, this homemade bazooka is made from a steel drainpipe. The dugouts are well camouflaged against air attack. Contact with other partisans in the regions is maintained by walkie-talkie units. Plans for the next day are discussed by lamplight late into the night. Leaving the camp at dawn the partisans move off in scouting parties using footpaths they know from childhood. They are determined to remain a thorn in the side of the Russian Army long after foreign dignitaries attending May's VE celebrations in Moscow are forgotten.

RUSSIA: YELSIN FIRES PM & CABINETRUSSIA: YELSIN FIRES PM & CABINET
Russian/Nat Russian President Boris Yeltsin has fired Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and the entire Cabinet. It's the fourth time in the past 18 months that Yeltsin has sacked the country's government. Yeltsin's unexpected move creates another political crisis in Russia as the country prepares for parliamentary elections in December and a presidential poll in the middle of next year. The dismissals are fuelling rumours that Yeltsin and his advisors may be planning to cancel elections to allow time to extend his presidency. The Russian constitution bars Yeltsin from a third term. But the Kremlin has vigorously denied the rumours and insists that elections will take place as scheduled. Stepashin also becomes Yeltsin's latest political victim as the Kremlin tries to suppress an uprising by several hundred Islamic militants who have seized several villages in the southern republic of Dagestan. Yeltsin fired Stepashin at a brief Monday morning meeting at the Kremlin. Stepashin served as premier for only three months. He said he was not given any reason for his dismissal Stepashin, who has been staunchly loyal to Yeltsin, indicated he was not pleased with his dismissal. The Russian media has speculated that members of the president's inner circle were pushing for Stepashin's removal in order to advance their own candidate - Vladimir Putin, head of the Federal Security Service and the main successor to the KGB. 46 year old Putin has been named acting prime minister. Putin, 46, was a KGB officer in Germany during the Soviet era and has spent much of career in the country's security services. Yeltsin did not publicly criticize Stepashin during his brief tenure in office, but the president did not give him broad authority and Stepashin did not initiate any major changes. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I do not intend to do anything extreme. A few people have already succeeded in spreading rumours about my appointment. Look, they say, here's a general with a strong hand, Russia is at the threshold of dictatorship, they even compare me with Pinochet. I am no General Pinochet. My name is Stepashin."

RUSSIA: CHECHNYA: PARTISAN BRIGADES
Natural Sound The head of Russia's intelligence agency has declared that the war in Chechnya is nearly over. Sergei Stepashin says forces loyal to Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev have ' ceased to exist'.

RUSSIA: YELSIN FIRES PM & CABINET
Russian/Nat Russian President Boris Yeltsin has fired Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and the entire Cabinet. It's the fourth time in the past 18 months that Yeltsin has sacked the country's government. Yeltsin's unexpected move creates another political crisis in Russia as the country prepares for parliamentary elections in December and a presidential poll in the middle of next year. The dismissals are fuelling rumours that Yeltsin and his advisors may be planning to cancel elections to allow time to extend his presidency. The Russian constitution bars Yeltsin from a third term. But the Kremlin has vigorously denied the rumours and insists that elections will take place as scheduled. Stepashin also becomes Yeltsin's latest political victim as the Kremlin tries to supp... -
RUSSIA: YELSIN FIRES PM & CABINET (7)

Vladimir Putin, head of the Federal Security Service, the main successor to the K-G-B, was immediately named acting prime minister, and Yeltsin later said in a national t-v address that he wanted the former spy to succeed him. Putin has spent most of his career in the country's security services and has little experience in politics or economics and is regarded as an unknown qua... -

Yeltsin supported his Prime Minister's visit and welcomed Stepashin's good news.
Shortly after Stepashin returned to Moscow, the I-M-F announced a 4.5 (b) billion U-S dollar loan for Russia, the largest credit for the country since its financial markets crashed last August.

Natural Sound
The United States and Russia have agreed to start a new round of nuclear talks, to begin next month in Moscow.
The negotiations are aimed at reducing their long-range nuclear weapons.
The decision was announced as talks between Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and U-S Vice-President Gore closed in Washington on Tuesday.
The Russian prime minister's visit to the U-S is geared towards restoring bilateral relations, strained following an angry rift over NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia.
High on the agenda - the nuclear weapons issue.
In 1993, both countries agreed to reduce their arsenals of long-range nuclear warheads so that neither side would have more than three and a half thousand in possession.
The Russian legislature has yet to ratify that accord.
Even so, Vice-President Al Gore and Premier Sergei Stepashin on Tuesday announced that both countries would begin discussions on a START III treaty in Moscow next month.
Gore told a packed news conference that the area of missile technology was one where the two countries could work closer together.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We have not put any time limit on concluding renegotiations of the ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile) treaty or a completion of a START III Treaty. We did conclude that we would continue full speed ahead without regard to the election cycles either in Russia or in the United States and we had some very productive discussions as the Prime Minister indicated about the shared assumptions that will guide our conversations and our work together and I'm more optimistic about our ability to reach a successful result in both areas."
SUPER CAPTION: Al Gore, U-S Vice President
Analysts say the actions in the arms control arena were not big steps, but they represented an effort to work together, at least in areas of mutual interest.
And the Russian prime minister explained that it was time for the two countries to enter the 21st century as friends."
SOUNDBITE: (Russian, English translation)
"Carefully studying, and I understood this from my contacts with Vice President Gore and with President Clinton, that here there is understanding that at least this issue can be moved forward so that the United States and Russia can more actively work on ABM defence together. A new system of ABM defences is being raised in the United States and you know that there has recently been a law pass in the United States regarding this, this is being done not because of a threat from Russia but because of countries with complex, difficult regimes, narrow regimes. This is a danger for Russia as well and I think here again we should work in a consolidated manner together."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Although Stepashin is in the U-S to secure economic assistance, the subject of the conflict in Yugoslavia dominated his first full business day in Washington, DC.
Russia, a traditional Serb ally, opposed force as a remedy for ethnic violence in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo.
Stepashin also met a host of U-S politicians and representatives of both political parties Republican and Democratic.
Later in the day, he met World Bank President James Wolfensohn to discuss the country's economic situation.
Afterwards, the World Bank chief told reporters the bank was supportive of Stepashin's administration.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well we had a very constructive meeting and I confirmed to Prime Minister Stepashin the very positive feelings that we have towards his administration at his governments efforts to face up to the structural issues relating to the development of his economy."

Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has told hundreds of American business people that his country's economy needs further privatisation.
Speaking on the first day of his visit to Washington DC, he also stressed that there would be no return to the dark days of the "Cold War" between Russia and the U-S.
Sergei Stepashin's arrival in Washington late on Monday afternoon was a clear sign that Russia and the U-S are attempting to mend a rift that developed over Kosovo.
Bilateral tension was triggered by NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia and exacerbated by such incidents as Russian tanks beating NATO peacekeepers into Kosovo.
The central mission of Stepashin's visit will be to mend these relations.
Hours after his arrival, Stepashin told business leaders at a hotel near the White House that he hoped there would be no more political and military upheavals.
He stressed that nothing would take Russia and the U-S "back to the Cold War".
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Which I believe leads me to a very tough and the biggest conclusion. Mainly, that no political or military upheavals, and I hope there won't be any more military upheavals, whatever happened in Kosovo and Yugoslavia is a good lesson for us, but nothing will throw us back to the Cold War."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
He also offered assurances that his country's rocky economy was on the upswing and that American investors could come to Russia "without fear of racketeers".
The former counter-intelligence chief told his audience of business people that accounts of "criminalisation" in the transition from state controls were exaggerated.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Again in order for the investors not to leave and to stimulate and spur new investments, the first of these steps, the first of these priorities, is the new law on foreign investments that was already adopted and the second one will be developing a regulatory base to implement this specific law and to work within the council that I already talked about - this law enforcement element that I was talking about, this working out of long term investment and cooperation programs and projects."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
During his visit, Stepashin hopes to persuade the International Monetary Fund to resume lending to help his country's battered economy.
On Wednesday, the I-M-F is expected to approve a 630 (M) million U-S dollars loan based on findings that the Russian parliament has moved to adopt Western-style measures to protect foreign investors.

Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has said differences between Russia and the United States over the rebuilding of Yugoslavia have now been resolved.
Visiting Washington on Tuesday, Stepashin, said before meeting with congressional leaders that he believed progress had been made on the issue.
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin's second day in the United States began with breakfast at Vice President Al Gore's Washington residence.
The two men had a private meeting before the new Russian Prime Minister headed to Capitol Hill to meet Congressional leaders.
Stepashin said he would take up several issues with U-S President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore during the day.

"We met on some issues, complicated delicate issues which as a rule are not raised at the official talks. These are the problems our trade relations, economic relations, the problem of Yugoslavia, nuclear technologies and the control and prosperous of the future work of our nations. We also talked about the situation in our country and I was interested in knowing them a vision of our situation and that was my first personal meeting. Sometimes the first meeting is more important."

Stepashin hopes his trip to Washington will result in the approval Wednesday from the International Monetary Fund of a 630 (m) million U-S dollar loan.

It appears some of the differences between Russia and the United States over the rebuilding of Yugoslavia may have been eased.
Visiting Washington, Russia's new prime minister, Sergei Stepashin, said on Tuesday that he believed progress had been made on the issue.
Stepashin urged the Clinton administration to provide assistance to 10 million (m) Serbs who face winter without enough fuel and water.
Although the new Russian Prime Minister is in Washington to secure economic assistance, the subject of the conflict in Yugoslavia has dominated his first full business day in Washington.
Russia, a traditional Serb ally, opposed the use of force as a remedy for ethnic violence in the Yugoslav province.
Stepashin's visit is designed to help overcome the discord stemming from the bombing that ousted Serb troops from Kosovo.
Once the fighting ended, Russian troops found themselves side-by-side with NATO forces in the K-FOR peacekeeping mission, but not without further disagreements over troop positions and the chain of command in the mission.
The Russian leader on Tuesday tried to clarify his country's support for giving aid to Yugoslavia.
The United States continues to rule out giving any reconstruction funds while Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic remains in power.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian, English translation)
"First of all, this is the situation which has to do with subsequent work on resolving the crisis in Yugoslavia and I also would like to resolve some tensions which emerged also in the U-S administration, in the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, in terms of the Russian positions as to aid Yugoslavia."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin made his pitch for the Serbs in a friendly way.
He said he thought an agreement could be worked out and that relations with the United States had turned a corner.
But Stepashin humanitarian aid for Serbs will be needed soon.
SOUNDBITE: ( Russian, English translation)
"However when the winter sets in, there will be a humanitarian catastrophe in the very heart of Europe. There are no roads, enterprises have been destroyed, there are no gas supplies, no water supply in many areas of the country."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Earlier, Stepashin visited Capitol Hill where he met with leaders of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Sitting between Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and House Speaker Dennis Hastert, with other Republican and Democratic leaders around a U-shaped table, Stepashin talked vigorously in Russian with a translator at his shoulder.
Lott waved off questions from reporters who were ushered out as the formal meeting started in a Senate anteroom.
The Russian prime minister also met World Bank President James Wolfensohn to discuss the country's economic situation.
Wolfensohn described it as a positive meeting.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well we had a very constructive meeting and I confirmed to Prime Minister Stepashin the very positive feelings that we have towards his administration at his governments efforts to face up to the structural issues relating to the development of his economy."
SUPER CAPTION: James Wolfensohn, World Bank President
The big economic news for Stepashin on the trip is the expected approval on Wednesday by the International Monetary Fund of a 630 million (m) U-S dollar loan.
The loan is based, in part, on findings by the I-M-F that the Russian parliament has moved to adopt Western-style measures to protect foreign investors.

Russia's acting prime minister is wooing lawmakers with promises to clamp down on financial crime.
Sergei Stepashin's efforts come on the eve of his confirmation vote by the lower house of parliament.
However Stepashin also got tough with lawmakers, threatening renewed confrontation with the Duma if it doesn't pass fiscal reforms required by the International Monetary Fund for a new loan.
Overshadowing the entire day's discussions though, was Boris Yeltsin's health.
Acting Russian Prime Minister, Sergei Stepashin is continuing to woo parliamentary deputies, prior to a vote of confidence by the Duma on Wednesday.
However Stepashin could not escape the media's interests in reports of further health problems plaguing President Yeltsin.
Yeltsin cancelled a meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on Tuesday.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Everything is okay with Yeltsin, I discussed all the problems with Aznar on Monday."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister
In the Duma, Stepashin met with representatives of the four main parliamentary factions, beginning with the left-wing opposition, led by communist leader Gennady Zyuganov.
On the agenda, the need for the Duma to pass legislation in order to satisfy International Monetary Fund loan requirements.
The economic reforms required for the I-M-F loan were part of a deal reached by former premier Yevgeny Primakov, but hard-liners in the Duma are still less than enthusiastic about the package.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"The Duma needs to pass legislation in order to satisfy the International Monetary Fund's requirements"
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister
Later Stepashin met with the traditionally pro-government 'Our Home is Russia' party and the 'Yabloko' party led by liberal economist Grigory Yavlinsky.
If a majority of the Duma vote for Stepashin, then his appointment by Yeltsin will be confirmed.
Overshadowing the Duma negotiations though, is the ever present question of Boris Yeltsin's health.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I spoke to the President yesterday." Question: How do you assess his health?
"Well, what do you make of it? Thank you for your smile."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Acting Russian Prime Minister
'Our Home is Russia' leader Vladimir Ryzhkov, believes the problem is not that complicated.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"We haven't heard anything about Yeltsin's health. We're dealing with the questions assigned to us. If he is ill, he should go and get treatment from the doctors."
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Ryzhkov, 'Our Home is Russia' Leader
Stepashin says he plans to make few changes to the makeup of the Cabinet and he's promised that two deputy prime ministers, Valentina Matviyenko and Vladimir Bulgak, will retain their posts.

Russian/Nat
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has said Russian peacekeepers destined for Kosovo will treat ethnic Albanians and Serbs equally.
NATO is concerned that Russia may disrupt the peace process in Kosovo by favouring the Serb community.
Most Serbs and Russians share the same Christian Orthodox religion and the two countries have had close ties for centuries.
Russia strongly opposed NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia when it began in March, and it's efforts are now directed at establishing a presence in Yugoslavia alongside NATO-led forces.
Russian troops surprised and embarrassed NATO by rolling into the airport in the Kosovo capital, Pristina, a day ahead of the alliance.
Their occupation of the airport, a vital strategic site for any long term peacekeeping operation in Kosovo, led to a special summit in Finland.
A deal was reached which denied Russia its own sector in the province but allowed soldiers to work alongside American and German soldiers.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I think the exodus of Serbs from Kosovo should stop, and this was one of the main issues raised in Cologne by me and Boris Nikolayevich (Yeltsin). There will be about 4,000, or 3,600 Russian peacekeepers, who won't be deployed in one separate sector, as we had planned before, but will be together with American and German troops in several sectors."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Prime Minister of Russia
NATO says it will protect the Serbs remaining in Kosovo but few Serbs believe that is possible and many are fleeing the province.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It is a complex problem. I'm glad the Cologne Eight has ruled out double standards: favouring the Kosovars while neglecting the Serbs' rights. We should protect any person, irrespective of nationality. This is going to be our main task."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Prime Minister of Russia
As Serb villages in Kosovo become ghost towns, neighbouring ethnic Albanians race to loot and destroy as much Serb property as possible.
The Kosovo Liberation Army have now agreed to hand over their weapons, but their hatred for the Serbs lives on, and civilian ethnic Albanians are finishing the mission started by their freedom fighters.

Eng/Russ/Nat
The first day of the Group of Eight summit meeting in Cologne has ended with Western leaders mending fences with Russia over the Kosovo conflict.
Although moves by Russia to allow Kosovo to be rebuild while Slobodan Milosevic remains in power were thwarted by the NATO allies, Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said Russia was satisfied with the role it was playing within the G-8.
The Group of Eight, or G-8, is the world's leading industrialized democracies, plus Russia.
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said that the question of Russia's 'full and effective' participation in the Group of Eight had been resolved.
Stepashin was in Cologne on Saturday to attend a summit meeting of the leaders of the world's seven major industrialised countries and Russia, known as the Group of Eight, or G-8.
Speaking at a news conference, he said Russia's position in the G-8 group of nation fully met Russia's national interests.
Stepashin stressed that talks between the G-8 countries focused primarily on the situation in Kosovo.
He said Russia's main concern was that human rights were observed throughout the province, on both the Serb and ethnic Albanian sides.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Human rights of all ethnic and national groups should be observed. The specifics of the deployment of the Russian peacekeeping units in the sectors is determined just by this."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Yeltsin, meanwhile, spent Saturday at his country residence outside Moscow preparing for his trip to Cologne on Sunday, for the final day of the G-8 summit.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"It is of principal importance (the Helsinki agreement), and this will be confirmed tomorrow in the presence of our president, that there should not be double standards on human rights in Kosovo."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin said Russia had a crucial role to play in the settlement of the Kosovo crisis, and what had been agreed at this week's talks in Helsinki would be in the interests of both Russia and the NATO allies.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I consider it a very good decision. For a start, there are several sectors. Secondly, the Americans, the British and the French - and that is a big thank you to us because we are resolving an ethnic problem, believe me. Here are the Kosovars, here we are and here are the Serbs, and together with the Yankees and the Germans, we are resolving this problem. This is an ideal working scheme. I think everybody is satisfied because they agreed yesterday."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Yeltsin's spokesman, Dmitry Yakushkin, indicated Russia would not sign off on a final statement on Kosovo until after the Russian president arrived on Sunday.
But he said there would be no surprises when it comes to ratifying the agreement, and that Russia would comply with the resolutions set by the United Nations (U-N).
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We will be implementing practically the United Nations Resolution and everything that you see there (that this entails), and our role is to stick to the resolution."
SUPER CAPTION: Dmitry Yakushkin, Spokesman to Russian President Boris Yeltsin
A deal was reached in Helsinki on Friday night that allows Russian troops to serve under Russian command in the U-S, French and German-controlled sectors of Kosovo.
It also allows Russia to keep 750 soldiers at Pristina airport.

Natural Sound
The head of Russia's intelligence agency has declared that the war in Chechnya is nearly over.
Sergei Stepashin says forces loyal to Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev have ' ceased to exist'.
Ahead of May's VE celebrations in Moscow , Russia is keen to allay western concern over bloodshed in the rebel republic.
But in the southern hills of Chechnya partisan brigades are digging in for a long war of attrition against Russian troops.
It is territory they know well, the mountainous southern region of Chechnya is historically the backbone of resistance to Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the last century.
The sound of jet fighters regularly breaks the woodland silence as reconnaissance flights scour the countryside for Chechen rebel strongholds.
Travelling light, the fighters live off the land eating berries or dried meat.
These fighters are from Shali, the last of Chechnya's major towns to fall to the Russians.
The sound of the last artillery exchanges can be heard all around.
New dugouts are being made each day in a network spanning the region.
Two Russian conscript prisoners of war were evacuated from Shali along with the rebels.
In the evening, the men clean their weapons while the women accompanying the brigade clean up.
Tight Russian security around the towns has meant that weapons supplies to the rebels have dried up, this homemade bazooka is made from a steel drainpipe.
The dugouts are well camouflaged against air attack.
Contact with other partisans in the regions is maintained by walkie-talkie units.
Plans for the next day are discussed by lamplight late into the night.
Leaving the camp at dawn the partisans move off in scouting parties using footpaths they know from childhood.
They are determined to remain a thorn in the side of the Russian Army long after foreign dignitaries attending May's VE celebrations in Moscow are forgotten.

Russian/Nat
Russian President Boris Yeltsin has fired Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and the entire Cabinet.
It's the fourth time in the past 18 months that Yeltsin has sacked the country's government.
Yeltsin's unexpected move creates another political crisis in Russia as the country prepares for parliamentary elections in December and a presidential poll in the middle of next year.
The dismissals are fuelling rumours that Yeltsin and his advisors may be planning to cancel elections to allow time to extend his presidency.
The Russian constitution bars Yeltsin from a third term.
But the Kremlin has vigorously denied the rumours and insists that elections will take place as scheduled.
Stepashin also becomes Yeltsin's latest political victim as the Kremlin tries to suppress an uprising by several hundred Islamic militants who have seized several villages in the southern republic of Dagestan.
Yeltsin fired Stepashin at a brief Monday morning meeting at the Kremlin.
Stepashin served as premier for only three months.
He said he was not given any reason for his dismissal
Stepashin, who has been staunchly loyal to Yeltsin, indicated he was not pleased with his dismissal.
The Russian media has speculated that members of the president's inner circle were pushing for Stepashin's removal in order to advance their own candidate - Vladimir Putin, head of the Federal Security Service and the main successor to the KGB.
46 year old Putin has been named acting prime minister.
Putin, 46, was a KGB officer in Germany during the Soviet era and has spent much of career in the country's security services.
Yeltsin did not publicly criticize Stepashin during his brief tenure in office, but the president did not give him broad authority and Stepashin did not initiate any major changes.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I do not intend to do anything extreme. A few people have already succeeded in spreading rumours about my appointment.

wn.com/Russia Yelsin Fires Pm Cabinet
Russian/Nat
Russian President Boris Yeltsin has fired Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and the entire Cabinet.
It's the fourth time in the past 18 months that Yeltsin has sacked the country's government.
Yeltsin's unexpected move creates another political crisis in Russia as the country prepares for parliamentary elections in December and a presidential poll in the middle of next year.
The dismissals are fuelling rumours that Yeltsin and his advisors may be planning to cancel elections to allow time to extend his presidency.
The Russian constitution bars Yeltsin from a third term.
But the Kremlin has vigorously denied the rumours and insists that elections will take place as scheduled.
Stepashin also becomes Yeltsin's latest political victim as the Kremlin tries to suppress an uprising by several hundred Islamic militants who have seized several villages in the southern republic of Dagestan.
Yeltsin fired Stepashin at a brief Monday morning meeting at the Kremlin.
Stepashin served as premier for only three months.
He said he was not given any reason for his dismissal
Stepashin, who has been staunchly loyal to Yeltsin, indicated he was not pleased with his dismissal.
The Russian media has speculated that members of the president's inner circle were pushing for Stepashin's removal in order to advance their own candidate - Vladimir Putin, head of the Federal Security Service and the main successor to the KGB.
46 year old Putin has been named acting prime minister.
Putin, 46, was a KGB officer in Germany during the Soviet era and has spent much of career in the country's security services.
Yeltsin did not publicly criticize Stepashin during his brief tenure in office, but the president did not give him broad authority and Stepashin did not initiate any major changes.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I do not intend to do anything extreme. A few people have already succeeded in spreading rumours about my appointment. Look, they say, here's a general with a strong hand, Russia is at the threshold of dictatorship, they even compare me with Pinochet. I am no General Pinochet. My name is Stepashin."

Russian/Nat
President Boris Yeltsin sacked Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and the entire cabinet on Monday, sparking a fresh political crisis as the country prepares for two key elections in coming months.
Yeltsin's latest political bombshell marked the fourth time in 17 months that he has fired the government and his critics are saying that Yeltsins unpredictable behaviour makes him unfit to govern.
Vladimir Putin, head of the Federal Security Service, the main successor to the K-G-B, was immediately named acting prime minister, and Yeltsin later said in a national t-v address that he wanted the former spy to succeed him.
Putin has spent most of his career in the country's security services and has little experience in politics or economics and is regarded as an unknown quantity.
For the fourth time in 17 months the Russian premier and his cabinet have been dismissed by their president.
President Boris Yeltsin fired Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and his team on Monday.
He then announced that Vladimir Putin, head of the Federal Security Service - the main successor to the K-G-B - had been named new acting prime minister.
Yeltsin, whose term expires next year, also declared that Putin would be his preferred successor.
The mild mannered Stepashin, who had held his post for three months and shown considerable loyalty to the unpredictable Yeltsin, spoke to his cabinet to announce the news.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"This morning I was with the President. He informed me of my dismissal and thanked me for my hard work. I then came here. Director of the FSB Putin has been named acting Prime Minister. I think he's a very worthy candidate and I wish him every success."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Departing Prime Minister
Yeltsin's unexpected move creates yet another political crisis in Russia as the country prepares for parliamentary elections in December and a presidential poll in the middle of next year.
But for the Russian Communist party, which holds the largest number of seats in the lower chamber of the Russian parliament (Duma), the dismissal was nothing new and reaffirmed their belief that Yeltsin is an unfit leader.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"He's the 6th premier in the last 18 months. This government lasted just 82 days. We told you a long time ago that in September they'd be sacked. It's not a surprise to us. The regime is in its death-throes."
SUPER CAPTION: Gennady Zyuganov, Communist leader
The deputy of the Communist Party made sinister reference to a virtual Mafia surrounding Yeltsin, who may have brought about Stepashin's downfall in an attempt to secure a more controllable premier.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"The "family" (Yeltsin's entourage) didn't like Stepashin being appointed Prime Minister. The "family" are looking for a more reliable figure who can be their middleman in the presidential elections and most importantly who can guarantee the family's continued existence."
SUPER CAPTION: Viktor Ilyukhin, Communist Deputy
Former first deputy premier Boris Nemtsov, in a radio interview in Moscow on Monday, said that Yeltsin's decision had been "crazy" but was inspired by a desire to find a more suitable man to take over the reins of power.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The main reason why Yeltsin made such a strange or crazy decision is concerned with a fact that he is looking for his successor and he doesn't believe that Stepashin could be one of the persons who will be the next President of Russia in the next century."
SUPERCAPTION: Boris Nemtsov, former first Deputy Prime Minister
Yeltsin has suffered a series of ailments in recent years and usually visits the Kremlin only a couple days a week, for a few hours at a time.

Natural Sound
South Korean President Kim Dae-jung held talks with new Russian Prime Minister, Sergei Stepashin, in another sign of warming relations between Seoul and Moscow.
Until 1990 Russia had maintained close ties with communist North Korea.
Kim also met the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and visiting the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre.
Danilovsky Monastery, the official residence of patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, Alexi the second, was the first of port of call for the visiting South Korean president.
Alexi told Kim Dae-jung, a former dissident, that the approach of the year 2000 should give Russia, the West and other countries of the world time to renew their "spiritual and moral basis".
On Friday, Kim had held talks with Russian president Boris Yeltsin, who told him Russia supports the South Korean administration in creating a dialogue between the two Koreas.
Russia is the last of four major powers from which Kim is trying to draw support for his so-called "sunshine policy" of engagement with North Korea.
Kim previously visited the United States, China and Japan.
Later on Saturday Kim met Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and reaffirmed his country's commitment on increasing bilateral economic cooperation.
Rounding off his trip, the South Korean leader visited the world famous Bolshoi Theatre.
Moscow was a close ally of North Korea, but their relations have cooled since 1990 when Russia established diplomatic relations with South Korea.
Russia says it wants to expand political and economic relations with North and South Korea. The south and the north are technically still at war because their 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
Kim leaves Moscow early on Sunday.

French/Russian/Nat
French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin started wrapping up his official visit to Moscow on Friday.
During the two day trip he held talks with Russia's President, Boris Yeltsin, and Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin.
Mr Jospin's trip was the first such high level visit to Russia by a NATO head of government since the Alliance began its combing campaign against Serbia.
Throughout the talks, the Russian leadership expressed a desire to develop stronger economic and political ties with France and other Western countries now that a joint peace operation is underway in Kosovo.
French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, in Moscow for talks with the Russian leadership, met President Boris Yeltsin in the Kremlin on Friday morning.
Yeltsin welcomed Jospin as head of government of 'a friendly country', adding that although events in Kosovo have influenced relations with France, he hoped for continuing improvement of the two nation's 'privileged' relationship.
Answering questions from reporters, the French Prime Minister declared that a thorough investigation will be held into the matters that caused a cable car crash in the French Alps on Thursday and offered his condolences to the families of the dead.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"We have launched an administrative and judicial inquiry to ascertain why this accident occurred. At present, as I said before leaving Paris, my thoughts are with the victims and their families who have my compassion and solidarity."
SUPER CAPTION: Lionel Jospin, French Prime Minister
He was talking to reporters after meeting with Moscow's mayor, Yuri Luzhkov.
Later in the day, Lionel Jospin went to meet maverick Russian politician, Alexander Lebed.
A former paratrooper and current Governor of the Krasnoyarsk region, Lebed is viewed by many as a likely challenger in presidential elections to be held next year.
At a meeting with Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin the talks focused on bilateral relations between the two countries and the postwar situation at the Balkans.
Jospin commended Russia's efforts at brokering a peace deal between NATO and Yugoslavia and said the international community is now working together to resolve remaining problems in the Balkans.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
"We have jointly found a political and diplomatic solution to the problem of making Mr Milosevic accept the international community's conditions. It is obvious that this has become possible thanks to the active role that Russia played."
SUPER CAPTION: Lionel Jospin, French Prime Minister
Yet despite Russian efforts to restore its ties with Western countries to a level that had existed before NATO's bombing campaign in Yugoslavia, important differences remain over how to handle relations with Belgrade.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"The Russian side maintains it is not correct and it is not farsighted to link the issue of aid to ten million innocent people - and it is innocent people who have to pay for political mistakes by the leadership - directly with the departure of Milosevic."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
At the end of their meeting Stepashin praised France for taking a constructive stand on the Yugoslav conflict and called for broadening bilateral relations.

Peruvian Foreign Minister Fernando de Trazegnies met Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov and Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin on the second day of his official visit to Moscow.
Though agreeing to continue buying spare parts for its Soviet and Russian-made weapons from Russia, Trazegnies said the new peace deal signed with Ecuador has led to a reduction of arms acquisitions.
Peruvian Foreign Minister Fernando de Trazegnies had arrived in Moscow on Tuesday for a three day official visit.
Following a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, he announced Peru will continue buying spare parts from Russia for its Soviet and Russian-made weapons.
He claimed Peru values the quality of its Soviet and Russian equipment.
But de Trazegnies said he hoped Peru and Russia could focus on civilian ties now that Lima has cut its military purchases with the end of a long-standing border dispute with Ecuador.

Russian/Nat
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin says Russia will receive its next tranche of financial aid from the International Monetary Fund by the end of July.
Speaking on Thursday in Moscow, Stepashin also announced that a meeting between the Russian government and the I-M-F will take place later this month.
Russia desperately needs the injection of (b) billions of dollars of credit to repay its debts and deal with huge wage arrears in the public sector.
Stepashin's announcement came during a meeting at the White House in Moscow on Thursday, over Russia's chronic agricultural crisis.
The Russian Prime minister said the much needed tranche of I-M-F loan money might come as early as at the end of July.
He also anticipated a decisive meeting between Moscow and the I-M-F board of directors shortly.
International creditors of Russia, such as financial institutions in Paris and London, are also expected to be meeting soon with the World Bank.
Stepashin expressed optimism about Russia's chances of finding relief for its debt-ridden economy.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"In principle, we have settled the problem with the IMF. Today President Yeltsin signed all the laws requested by the IMF and I would like to thank the deputies of the Duma who are here for their support. Around mid July - I don't want to announce the exact date as we are waiting for a signal from the IMF - there will be a meeting with their board of directors. The date is set already. At the same time, the clubs of creditors in Paris and London will also be meeting with the World bank. And this will help us solve the problem of our internal debt."
SUPERCAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin's government had to face strong opposition from the communist-dominated parliament over the new legislation to be put in place in order to gain the I-M-F financial aid.
The Duma had been long unwilling to pass the economic and tax laws requested by the I-M-F as a condition for further loans.
But eventually the Duma agreed and President Yeltsin was able to sign the new package of measures.
According to the Itar-Tass news agency, the I-M-F is expected to provide a loan of U-S 4.5 (b) billion dollars to Russia within 18 months.

wn.com/Russia Pm Stepanshin Expects Imf Cash By End Of July
Russian/Nat
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin says Russia will receive its next tranche of financial aid from the International Monetary Fund by the end of July.
Speaking on Thursday in Moscow, Stepashin also announced that a meeting between the Russian government and the I-M-F will take place later this month.
Russia desperately needs the injection of (b) billions of dollars of credit to repay its debts and deal with huge wage arrears in the public sector.
Stepashin's announcement came during a meeting at the White House in Moscow on Thursday, over Russia's chronic agricultural crisis.
The Russian Prime minister said the much needed tranche of I-M-F loan money might come as early as at the end of July.
He also anticipated a decisive meeting between Moscow and the I-M-F board of directors shortly.
International creditors of Russia, such as financial institutions in Paris and London, are also expected to be meeting soon with the World Bank.
Stepashin expressed optimism about Russia's chances of finding relief for its debt-ridden economy.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"In principle, we have settled the problem with the IMF. Today President Yeltsin signed all the laws requested by the IMF and I would like to thank the deputies of the Duma who are here for their support. Around mid July - I don't want to announce the exact date as we are waiting for a signal from the IMF - there will be a meeting with their board of directors. The date is set already. At the same time, the clubs of creditors in Paris and London will also be meeting with the World bank. And this will help us solve the problem of our internal debt."
SUPERCAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin's government had to face strong opposition from the communist-dominated parliament over the new legislation to be put in place in order to gain the I-M-F financial aid.
The Duma had been long unwilling to pass the economic and tax laws requested by the I-M-F as a condition for further loans.
But eventually the Duma agreed and President Yeltsin was able to sign the new package of measures.
According to the Itar-Tass news agency, the I-M-F is expected to provide a loan of U-S 4.5 (b) billion dollars to Russia within 18 months.
The fund may reportedly give a first portion of the loan, U-S 630 (m) million dollars, in late July.
The total for this year is estimated at U-S 3.7 (b) billion dollars.
Since 1992, Russia has received U-S 17.6 (b) billion dollars from the fund, 6.5 billion from the World Bank and 253 (m) million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The total volume of foreign loans provided to Russia from 1992 to 1998 reportedly amounts to 70 billion dollars.

Russian/Nat
The Russian Parliament has endorsed a package of new laws to raise taxes and generate badly needed revenue for the government.
The package is a measure required by the International Monetary Fund to enable Russia to receive more loans to help prop up its ailing economy.
The Federation Council of the upper house of Parliament met on Friday to approve several key conditions required by the IMF to make Russia eligible for the badly needed loan.
The loan will allow Russia to pay off debts due this year and avoid a potentially disastrous default.
Before addressing the Federation Council on Saturday, Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin said he was confident the International Monetary Fund would release a 4.5 (B) billion U-S dollar loan to Russia.
SOUNDBITE: (Russia)
"Nobody doubts that the IMF loans will be given. Russia will be fine...we will be given the credits. No-one should be worried about that now."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
In his address to the council, Stepashin thanked the members for what he described as laying the foundation for Russia's economic growth and political stabilisation
However, the hike in taxes is not expected to be popular with the everyday Russians.
With general elections due to be held in few months, the Prime Minister was eager to stress that these measures are vital in setting the stage for Russia's long term economic recovery.
Commenting the first phase of the peacekeeping operation in Kosovo, Stepashin also expressed satisfaction with level of co-operation between Russian and NATO forces in the region.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Everything will be fine in Kosovo. I discussed some aspects of the peacekeeping operation yesterday with the French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin. We are pleased that our most immediate partners in Kosovo will be the French. Our troops and the French forces have already established a good relationship on the ground. I don't foresee any problems in the future"
Reporter Question: Are the relations just as cordial with British and American troops in Kosovo?
Stepashin: Sure, relations are good with British and American soldiers as well. I should tell you that the soldiers are always quicker in finding a common language than the generals."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Stepashin also said money had now been found for the upkeep of Russian peacekeepers in Kosovo.

Natural Sound
South Korean President Kim Dae-jung left Moscow on Sunday after a four-day state visit to Russia.
His visit was seen as an important step towards warming relations between Moscow and Seoul.
During the visit he met with president Boris Yeltsin and new premier Sergei Stepashin.
Until 1990, Moscow maintained close ties with communist North Korea and relations with Seoul had been strained.
Russia's new Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin accompanied Kim Dae-jung to Moscow's airport, where the full glitter of Russian ceremony was laid on for the South Korean president.
Kim's four day state visit is thought to have laid another building-block in improving relations between Moscow and Seoul.
On Friday, Kim had held talks with Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
Russia is the last of four major powers from which Kim is trying to draw support for his so-called "sunshine policy" of engagement with North Korea.
Kim has previously visited the United States, China and Japan.
On Saturday Kim also met with new Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and reaffirmed his country's commitment to increasing bilateral economic cooperation.
Moscow was a close ally of North Korea, but their relations have cooled since 1990 when Russia established diplomatic relations with South Korea.
Russia says it wants to expand political and economic relations with North and South Korea.
The two Koreas are technically still at war, because their 1950-53 Korean War
ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

US foreign policy focused on ‘regime change’ in Russia
The administration of US President Barack Obama is “focused on regime change” in Russia to replace Moscow’s “independent leadership,” as part of a US strategy to “further exploit the rest of the world,” an American political commentator says. “The US has clearly been focused on regime change in Russia since the assertion of an independent Russia”, Don DeBar, an anti-war activist and radio host in New York told Press TV on Sunday.

RUSSIA: MOSCOW: SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD VISIT

English/Nat
Syrian president Hafez Assad began top level talks in Moscow on Tuesday expected to focus on the Middle East peace process and Syrian arms deals with Russia.
Assad has been to Russian fourteen times, but his arrival in Moscow now is his first visit to Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
SUGGESTED VOICEOVER
President Assad of Syria kickstarted his visit to Russia on Tuesday with a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Kremlin.
Accompanied by the pomp of a Russian military band, the ageing president, a stalwart of Middle East politics, paid his respects by laying a wreath.
Later, Assad entered the Kremlin for face-to-face talks with Russian president Boris Yeltsin.
Reports in the western press suggested Assad was after a 1.5 (b) billion U-S dollars arms deal with Russia, in particular including the purchase of Russian Su27 fighters and T80 tanks.
However, there will be tough negotiating, as Syria still owes 9 (b) billion dollars to Moscow from earlier arms deals with the Soviet Union.
Syria was a major market for Soviet weapons during the Cold War and an estimated 90 percent of its military hardware was built in Russia or the Soviet Union.
Russia and Syria have sought to boost ties in recent years.
This May, Russia and Syria signed a 10-year deal on cooperating in the peaceful use of nuclear power.
But the United States then placed sanctions on three Russian companies involved in the sale of anti-tank weapons to Syria, and then threatened to cancel 50 (m) million dollars in aid to Russia if the deal was completed.
The contract apparently never went through because Assad abruptly canceled a planned trip to Moscow in May after the Russian government would not promise to finalise the delivery of the weapons.
Assad is also due to meet Russian premier Sergei Stepashin before leaving Russia on Tuesday.

Russian/Nat
Syrian president Hafez Assad began top level talks with Russian leaders in Moscow on Tuesday.
The talks are expected to focus on the Middle East peace process and Syrian arms deals with Russia.
Initial reports from Russian officials say that at the start of talks between President Yeltsin and President Assad the two leaders said they wanted to further expand close ties between the two nations.
Assad has been to Russian fourteen times, but his latest arrival in Moscow was his first visit since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
President Assad of Syria stopped at the first destination of all visiting foreign leaders to Moscow early on the Tuesday - the tomb of the unknown soldier, located under the walls of the Kremlin.
Accompanied by the pomp of a Russian military band, the ageing president, a stalwart of Middle East politics for the last two decades, paid his respects at the eternal flame.
Later, Assad held face-to-face talks with Russian president Boris Yeltsin.
Russian officials said that at the start of talks that the two presidents said they wanted to expand already close ties between the two nations.
Reports in the western press suggested Assad was after a 1.5 (b) billion dollar arms deal with Russia, in particular including the purchase of Russian Su-27 fighter planes and T-80 tanks.
However, there will be tough negotiating, as Syria still owes Moscow some 12 (b) billion dollars from earlier arms deals with the Soviet Union.
Speaking after the meeting between the two presidents, Russian foreign minister Igor Ivanov said Moscow was keen for talks to begin again between Syria and Israel to rejuvenate the Middle East peace process.
SOUNDBITE: ( Russian)
"I repeat - without movement, real movement in the Syrian and also the Lebanese direction, it will be impossible to talk about a full scale resolution in the Middle East."
SUPER CAPTION: Igor Ivanov Russian Foreign Minister
Syrian-Israeli contact has been suspended since 1996, but Assad has recently seemed to express his positive attitude to new Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak.
Ivanov said Yeltsin and Assad had agreed the United Nations must be strengthened, so as not to allow the repeat of what he called the "precedent" of Kosovo, an event, so the Russians believe, when one nation or group of nations dictated the course of world affairs.
Tuesday's meeting came on the same day Russia finally dispatched its first planeload of peacekeeping troops to the Yugoslav province, the foreign minister spelled out Moscow's view of the mission.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"The faster the Russian and other peacekeeping contingents are deployed completely in Kosovo, the quicker it will possible to establish an atmosphere of security and stability, and in this way end the vandalism that unfortunately is taking place in Kosovo and end the expulsion of the Serb population."

Russian/Eng/Nat
The Council of Europe, the world's largest club of parliamentary democracies, is set to vote on a motion to suspend Russia over its Chechnya campaign.
Lawmakers from 41 nations were scheduled to vote on Thursday on a motion to give Russia a May 31 deadline to meet their demands on Chechnya or face suspension from the Council of Europe, which acts as the continent's human rights guardian.
In Strasbourg on Thursday, the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is due to vote on a proposal by its political committee to consider suspending Russian membership if Moscow does not agree to a ceasefire in Chechnya and begin talks with rebel leaders by May 31.
Russian politicians are predicting a new 'iron curtain' would fall across Europe if the continent's top human rights body implements the proposal.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The parliamentary assembly will ask the council of ministers to consider prior to May 31 the expulsion of Russia from the Council of Europe. I don't think that it will be upheld, but I think that by May 31, Russia should do things in terms of joint work with the parliamentary assembly to correct the situation."
SUPERCAPTION: Vladimir Lukin, liberal deputy, vice-chairman of Duma
Human rights groups have repeatedly alleged that Russian troops in Chechnya have executed civilians, tortured detainees and committed widespread rape and pillage, basing their reports on interviews with Chechen refugees.
The Council of Europe sent its first delegation to Chechnya to investigate the situation in January, voicing concern about what it called the 'disproportionate' use of force which was leading to excessive civilian casualties.
After that first trip, PACE backed off from punishing Russia, deciding to set a deadline for progress to be made.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"From a political point of view it (expulsion from CoE) would be a serious blow to the prestige of the country, because inclusion means we are working by Europe's rules. First of all it has an effect on respect for us and on investment. But the fact of expulsion - if it were to happen - would not be the best thing for the Council of Europe itself."
SUPERCAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, former Russian prime minister and head of Russian counter-intelligence service during the first Chechen war
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson, who was on a three-day fact-finding mission in Chechnya this month, said on Wednesday in Geneva that the scale of serious allegations of gross human rights violations warrants international attention and concern.
Robinson has suggested to Russia that it form an independent national commission for investigating the allegations.
Her report to the Geneva based human rights commission on Wednesday, on the eve of the Council of Europe's vote to consider possible suspension moves against Russia, is bound to carry some weight in Strasbourg too.
But many seem to agree, the most likely outcome is Russia will get a severe reprimand for its human rights record in Chechnya without a decision being taken to suspend its membership.
That's something many Russians are hoping will happen.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It is very serious for Russia and the consequences could be very serious. That's why I think maybe the Council of Europe should think about the consequences. It's too serious for Russia."
SUPERCAPTION: Irina Khakimada, deputy
As liberals and human rights activists - like the Russian president's official human rights' ombudsman Oleg Mironov - have been saying in the run-up to the debate, such a move would only isolate Russia further and longer.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Russia joined in 1996.

Natural Sound
Chechen president Aslan Maskhadov narrowly escaped an attempt on his life on Sunday when a powerful bomb exploded just seconds after the presidential cortege passed by.
The blast comes just two days after a marketplace bomb slaughtered 51 people in the neighbouring Caucasian republic of Northern Ossetia.
In Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, Sunday's bomb left a huge crater and broken glass in nearby buildings.
There were reports of serious injuries to bystanders.
Maskhadov, who has survived previous attempts on his life since becoming president of Chechnya in early 1997, was returning from a meeting with the republic's oil chiefs.
His car had already passed the bomb location when the explosion occurred.
Chechen authorities claimed the assassination attempt on president Aslan Maskhadov was carried out by opposition warlords trying to prevent the president from meeting Russian premier Yevgeny Primakov.
These warlords, claim security officials, are trained by Russian special forces.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)

In Vladikavkaz, Russian interior minister Sergei Stepashin called the assault on Maskhadov a link in the same chain of events as the deadly marketplace explosion.

The administration of US President Barack Obama is “focused on regime change” in Russia to replace Moscow’s “independent leadership,” as part of a US strategy to “further exploit the rest of the world,” an American political commentator says.
“The US has clearly been focused on regime change in Russia since the assertion of an independent Russia”, Don DeBar, an anti-war activist and radio host in New York told Press TV on Sunday.
Russia’s independent foreign and domestic policy began around the time of President Vladimir Putin’s first presidential term in 2000, DeBar noted.
Former Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin has lashed out at Obama for his belligerent policy on Moscow, saying he is pushing Vladimir Putin to resign.
In an open letter to Obama, Stepashin criticized the US president for accusing the Kremlin of creating the violence in Ukraine. Obama’s economic sanctions against Moscow are to “isolate Russia and generate a new Cold War,” according to Stepashin.
“US foreign policy is regime change in Russia and complete sweeping of the independent leadership both in the political sphere and economic sphere that has risen out of the ashes of the Soviet Union,” DeBar reiterated.
“The US meanwhile, sees the need to further intensify its exploitation of the rest of the world to prop the system up that’s been evaporating over the past decade or so,” he added.
Tensions between Washington and Moscow have escalated over the crisis in Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Obama described Moscow's alleged involvement in Ukraine as a threat to peace in Europe, vowing to come to the defense of NATO allies that fear they could be Russia’s next target.
The West and Russia have been at loggerheads over the political situation in Ukraine after pro-Western forces ousted country’s Russian-backed president Viktor Yanukovych back in February 2014.

As the president heads off to a week overseas, it's the sobering jobs picture he leaves behind that has officials here worried most. Until now, Obama could argue he INHERITED the nation's economic MESS. But after nearly half a year in charge, his advisers know that SOON, he'll own it.

As the president heads off to a week overseas, it's the sobering jobs picture he leaves behind that has officials here worried most. Until now, Obama could argue he INHERITED the nation's economic MESS. But after nearly half a year in charge, his advisers know that SOON, he'll own it.

Natural Sound
Russian President Boris Yeltsin arrived in Germany on Sunday to attend the final day of the annual summit meeting of the Group of Eight (G-8) leading nations.
It is Yeltsin's first trip abroad since he visited the Jordanian capital, Amman in February to attend the funeral of King Hussein.
Accompanied by his wife, Yeltsin landed at Cologne airport with his wife Naina and looked distinctly unsteady as he descended the steps to the tarmac.
At one point he insisted on talking to the waiting press, pushing an aide aside, determined perhaps to down play questions over his ability to handle himself.
Yeltsin's one-day visit to Cologne is expected to include a meeting with U-S President Bill Clinton and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
Much of the summit has so far concentrated on the reconstruction of Kosovo following the end of the NATO bombing earlier this month.
The G-8 leaders will begin a final session of talks on Sunday with a call to North Korea to stop nuclear and missile development and commitments to Kosovo on the agenda.
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin, who had been acting for Yeltsin for the first two days of the summit suggested Saturday that Russia would accept the idea of providing only humanitarian support to the Serbian Republic of Yugoslavia.
Stepashin told a press conference that humanitarian assistance to Yugoslav citizens is different from supporting the Balkan country's political regime.
His comments followed Russian anger at the refusal of the G7 nations to help Yugoslavia rebuild as long as President Milosevic remained in power.

Russian/Nat
Israeli Prime Minister Barak - on a one day trip to Moscow - expressed concern to President Yeltsin about leakage of Russian nuclear rocket technology to Iran and Iraq.
Barak, a moderate who was elected in May, has pledged to resume land-for-peace negotiations with Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians.
Both Barak and Sergei Stepashin, the Russian Prime Minister, said the time was ripe for Syria to make peace with Israel.
The Israeli leader Ehud Barak arrived in Moscow amid what appears to be the first real problems between Israel and the Palestinians since his appointment.
Barak has pledged to resume land-for-peace negotiations with Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians.
However, on Monday the Palestinians rejected Israel's proposal to put off a troop pullback until October.
They claim such a delay raises concerns that Barak is trying to avoid some of his peace commitments.
Boris Yeltsin also used part of the meeting with his Israeli counterpart to denounce "ugly manifestations of anti-Semitism" in Russia.
There's been a series of incidents in recent months which have included bombings at synagogues and ethnic slurs uttered by several political figures.
During talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, the Russian leader promised strong legal action.
Politicians who have been said to have made anti-Semitic remarks, have escaped penalties to date.
During the Soviet era, Jews suffered systematic discrimination, and many ordinary Russians still openly express anti-Semitic opinions.
Meanwhile, Yeltsin also called for Russia to increase its role in the Middle East peace process.
Russia and the United States are co-sponsors to the process, but the Americans have played a far more prominent role.
Barak later held separate talks with Russian Foreign Minister, Igor Ivanov and raised Israeli security concerns about Iran and Iraq.
Russia has good relations with both countries, and is helping Iran build a nuclear power plant, while also lobbying for an easing of international sanctions against Iraq.
However, Russia denies that it's helping either country build weapons of mass destruction.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
"I spoke to Yeltsin, Stepashin and Ivanov about the concern we have about information and missile technology that goes to Iran from Russia and we are also concerned that Iraq has no weapons inspectors."
SUPER CAPTION: Ehud Barak, Israeli Prime Minister
Sergei Stepashin says the change of government in Israel marks a new opportunity for peace.
Peace talks between Israel and Syria have been stalled since 1996.
Both countries now say they want negotiations to resume.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Moreover, as I see it, there is now an opportunity for the Syrian side to take an important step forward. If the nations of Syria, Israel, Russia, the United States do not to use this opportunity to take this important step forward, I find this unacceptable."
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Russian Prime Minister
Barak claims Russia can play a bigger role in the Middle East peace process, especially in helping smooth ties between Israel and Syria.
SOUNDBITE: (Hebrew)
"I was impressed with Prime Minister Stepashin, President Yeltsin and the Foreign Minister. They three of them know President Assad well. The three understand that this is an important opportunity to create full peace between Syria and Israel. I am sure that we cannot allow to miss this opportunity."
SUPER CAPTION: Ehud Barak, Israeli Prime Minister
Moscow had close ties with many Arab states during the Soviet era, but has been building better relations with Israel in recent years.
In a symbolic gesture Ehud Barak gave his Russian counterpart a signed biographical book.

This weekend Russia celebrates the revival of one of its most revered national icons.
Festivities began on Saturday to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of poet Alexander Puskin.
Russia on Saturday began two days of celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the country's greatest poet Alexander Pushkin.
Pushkin - revered as Russia's equivalent of Shakespeare - wrote many of the first classics of Russian literature before he was killed in a duel in 1837.
UPSOUND (Russian)
"Pushkin loved our country, loved Russia, believed in her, in the same way we should love her today."
SUPER CAPTION: Russian Prime minister Sergei Stepashin
The opening ceremony of the celebrations in Moscow was attended by premier Sergei Stepashin and Yuri Luzhkov, Moscow's mayor.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)

SUPER CAPTION: Mayor Yuri Luzhkov
Amongst the many performers and festivities, there was a special commemoration for the poet.
Mayor Luzhkov laid a wreath in honour of Puskin's contributions to Russian literature.
Alexander Pushkin was a controversial figure in his time.
In a story of mythic proportions, Alexander Pushkin challenged George D'Athes- Haekkern, a French royalist in the Russian service to a duel, to defend the honour of his wife.
D' Athes-Haekkern was alleged to be romantically interested in Pushkin's wife Natalia Goncharova.
Pushkin's life came to a sudden, and early end in 1837 when he died of his wounds in the duel.
The celebrations mark the beginning of a resurgence interest in the poet.

Natural Sound
Syrian President Hafez Assad arrived in Moscow on Monday for talks on upgrading his military with Russian hardware.
Russia's Interfax news agency reported Assad will discuss the possible purchase of fighter jets, tanks, anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons.
Syria was a major market for Soviet weapons during the Cold War.
It is estimated that 90 per cent of Syria's military hardware was built in Russia or the Soviet Union.
Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin and Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov greeted Assad at the airport.
Assad planned to meet with President Boris Yeltsin and other top officials before leaving on Tuesday evening.
Russia's Interfax news agency reported Assad will discuss the possible purchase of Su-27 fighter jets, T-80 tanks, and anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.
It estimates 90 per cent of Syria's military hardware was built in Russia or the Soviet Union.
The two sides also were to discuss the possibility of renegotiating Syria's debt to Russia, which is estimated at about 12 (b) billion U-S dollars.
Russia and Syria have sought to boost ties in recent years, to the protest of the United States.
This May, Russia and Syria signed a 10-year deal on cooperating in the peaceful use of nuclear power.
The United States has put sanctions on three Russian companies involved in the sale of anti-tank weapons to Syria, and threatened to cancel 50 (m) million U-S dollars in aid to Russia if the deal was completed.
The contract apparently never went through, because Assad abruptly canceled a planned trip to Moscow in May after the Russian government would not promise to finalize delivering the weapons.

Eng/Russ/Nat
United Nations chief Kofi Annan promised on Wednesday to include Russian officials in a civil administration for Kosovo, and so acknowledging Moscow's help in solving the crisis.
After meeting with Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, Annan said there would be Russians in the team, but it was too early to say how many.
For the second time this year, U-N Secretary-General Kofi Annan entered Russia's foreign ministry for closed door talks with Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov.
Later he also met with Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin.
This time there was a difference -- no more talk of war.
Peace is foremost on the agenda.
Now that there's a deal with Yugoslavia's government, Annan is looking to wrestle back control from the NATO-dominiated K-FOR peacekeeping force.
The next major task for the U-N's chief will be to set up a civil administration in Kosovo which will tackle the reconstruction of the shattered region.
The U-N is looking to appoint representatives to this administration as soon as possible.
After meeting with Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, Annan said there would be Russians in the team, but it was too early to say how many.
Under the Kosovo plan the U-N peace-building mission will have four deputies serving under a special representative.
Earlier this week, Annan appointed a French official and a New Zealand refugee expert as deputies to the special representative, who hasn't been named yet.
Annan was keen to assure Russia that its role in securing a peace deal will not be overlooked.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I have a list of very good names, but I haven't decided on the representatives yet. I hope to do it very shortly. And in putting together the leadership that would manage the civil administration, I will ensure that key governments and governments with particular interest in this crisis are all represented in this leadership".
SUPER CAPTION: Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General
Officially the NATO peacekeeping mission is run under the auspices of the U-N.
Russia for its part certainly sees its contribution - the expected deployment of around 3-thousand paratroopers to Kosovo as part of a U-N led operation.
And the country's foreign minister told delegates and reporters that the work of the peacekeepers under U-N auspices was crucial.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"After we succeeded in stopping the war by joint efforts, the main thing now is to deploy the international force according to security council resolution 1244 to solve the problems which confront the region today."
SUPER CAPTION: Igor Ivanov, Russian Foreign Minister
Along with the Balkans, Annan and Ivanov discussed the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan and relations between India and Pakistan.
They also discussed conflicts in the former Soviet republics.
Later Annan held a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin.
Stepashin told Annan Russia had been appalled by what it saw as NATO's attempt to take the place of the United Nations to resolve the conflict in Kosovo.

Natural Sound
The visiting leader of Montenegro has called on Russia to support his republic's efforts to win greater autonomy from the Yugoslav government.
President Milo Djukanovic met top Russian officials to discuss the reconstruction of Yugoslavia, a Russian ally, after NATO's bombing campaign.
Russia has promised aid to help Yugoslavia repair damage from the air strikes.
The visiting Montenegran leader asked Russia to support his republic's efforts to win greater autonomy from the Yugoslav government.
Montenegro and Serbia, which is much larger, form modern-day Yugoslavia.
Djukanovic received a warm reception at the city hall from Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who is considered a likely candidate in Russia's 2000 presidential election.
After the meeting the Interfax news agency reported Luzhkov had backed Djukanovic in his stand-off with Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, saying Belgrade should not be allowed to impose its rules on Podgorica.
Later, Djukanovic met Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov to discuss reconstruction of Yugoslavia.
Russia has promised aid to help Yugoslavia repair damage from the air strikes.
The Montenegran president also planned to meet Russian Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin later Monday.
The United States and other Western nations support Djukanovic, but have urged him to avoid a full break with Belgrade to prevent further instability in the Balkans.
Russian media have interpreted Djukanovic's visit as a sign that Moscow was turning away from Milosevic after backing him during NATO's air campaign.
Stepashin, who attended an international summit on the Balkans reconstruction in Sarajevo last Friday, openly criticized the Yugoslav president.
At the same time, Stepashin reiterated Moscow's condemnation of NATO's air raids.
Speaking after talks with Djukanovic, he also insisted that international aid should go to all war victims, including the Serbs.
The United States and other Western nations have said that Serbia would be exempt from the reconstruction plan as long as Milosevic remains in power.

Russian/Nat
Montenegro could withdraw from Yugoslavia if Belgrade doesn't agree to sweeping reforms.
That was the warning from Montenegro's President, Milo Djukanovic, on Sunday when he arrived in Russia for talks with top officials.
Djukanovic was invited to Moscow by Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov to discuss cooperation and reconstruction of Yugoslavia after NATO's bombing campaign.
Montenegro and much larger Serbia are the last two republics remaining in Yugoslavia.
Djukanovic is one of the most outspoken Yugoslav critics of President Slobodan Milosevic, and has threatened to hold a referendum on independence if Belgrade does not grant Montenegro greater autonomy.
Djukanovic opposed Serbia's campaign against Albanians in the Serbian province of
Kosovo, and Yugoslavia's stance against NATO.
Speaking at the Moscow airport Sunday, Djukanovic said Montenegro could pull out of Yugoslavia if Serbia rejects the path of democratic and economic reform and a platform
he has proposed.
SOUNDBITE (Serbo-Croatian)
"If Serbia refuses the platform that we are offering it, and decides to continue on the path it is on, Montenegro can consider other alternatives to defend its national interests."
SUPERCAPTION: Milo Djukanovic
He went on to outline how Montenegro will move towards democracy.
SOUNDBITE (Serbo-Croatian)
"The goal of this visit is for Russia to acquaint itself with changes that are happening in Montenegro. And so that Russia can look at Montenegro as a model for how democratic changes can take place in the (Balkan) region."

XFA
Russia's lower house of parliament on Wednesday confirmed Mikhail Kasyanov as the country's new prime minister.
In the 450-seat Duma, three hundred and twenty five deputies voted for him, with 55 against.
The 43-year-old has until now been president Vladimir Putin's finance minister and first deputy prime minister.
Seen as a market reformer, Kasyanov used his speech before Duma deputies on Wednesday morning to lay out the state of the economy this year.
Deputies in Russia's lower houses of parliament voted on Wednesday for a new Prime Minister.
Mikhail Kasyanov, until now President Vladimir Putin's finance minister and first deputy prime minister, is a popular choice for many in the centrist-dominated chamber.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
\"Kasyanov is a enough of a compromise figure in the view of all the parties in the Duma. He is a person who knows and is able to work in the finance ministry, who has worked pretty well for the past six months. I know him from when he was a minister working in my cabinet. He's a person who clearly, thank God, who does not have any political sympathies or dislikes.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Sergei Stepashin, Former Prime Minister
Under Russian law, the president appoints the prime minister, who must then be approved by the 450-seat Duma by simple majority.
Three hundred and twenty five deputies voted in favour, with 55 against.
Before the vote, Nationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, predicted it would be a record victory.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
\"The result will be historic. He could get more than 300 votes, maybe 370 to 400. He'll be confirmed as prime minister. It will be a record for our books. \"
SUPER CAPTION: Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Nationalist leader
Kasyanov used his speech before Duma deputies on Wednesday morning to lay out the state of the economy this year.
As prime minister, supervising the economy is a key part of his job.
Kasyanov said production in Russia had already grown by ten per cent, investment had been steadily increasing and wage debts to state employees had decreased.
He said Russia's monthly inflation is under one per cent, gold and currency reserves were at the highest levels for years, and he added that the rouble's exchange rate had stabilised.
But he said all parties would have to work together to make Russia a \"frontline modern power\".
SOUNDBITE (Russian)
\"The consultations I held with the parties in the Duma have clearly demonstrated we can rely on the support and the intellectual potential of the deputies. Of course it won't be arguments and compromise, but I hope in the fundamental questions in the development of the Russian Federation as a frontline modern power, occupying a dignified position in the international community, we will have full mutual understanding.\"
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail Kasyanov, Russian premier designate
While deputies vote for a Prime Minister, lawmakers don't have any say on other Cabinet appointments.
Putin is expected to name the rest of the government in the coming days.

Federal'naya sluzhba bezopasnosti Rossiyskoy Federatsii (FSB); IPA: [fʲɪdʲɪˈralʲnəjə ˈsluʐbə bʲɪzɐˈpasnəstʲɪ rɐˈsʲijskəj fʲɪdʲɪˈrat͡sɨjɪ]) is the principal security agency of the Russian Federation and the main successor agency to the USSR's Committee of State Security (KGB). Its main responsibilities are within the country and include counterintelligence, internal and border security, counterterrorism, and surveillance as well as investigating some other types of grave crimes. It is headquartered in Lubyanka Square, Moscow's centre, in the main building of the former KGB. The Director of the FSB since 2008 is army general Aleksandr Bortnikov.
The immediate predecessor of the FSB was the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK) of Russia: on 12 April 1995, Russian president Boris Yeltsin signed a law mandating a reorganization of the FSK, which resulted in the creation of the FSB. In 2003, the FSB's responsibilities were widened by incorporating the previously independent Border Guard Service and a major part of the abolished Federal Agency of Government Communication and Information (FAPSI). The two major structural components of the former KGB that remain administratively independent of the FSB are the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and the State Guards (FSO).

Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin (Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Е́льцин; IPA: [bɐˈrʲis nʲɪkɐˈlaɪvʲɪtɕ ˈjelʲtsɨn] ( ); 1 February 1931 – 23 April 2007) was a Russian politician and the first President of the Russian Federation, serving from 1991 to 1999.
Originally a supporter of Mikhail Gorbachev, Yeltsin emerged under the perestroika reforms as one of Gorbachev's most powerful political opponents. On 29 May 1990 he was elected the chairman of the Russian Supreme Soviet. On 12 June 1991 he was elected by popular vote to the newly created post of President of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (SFSR), at that time one of the 15 constituent republics of the Soviet Union. Upon the resignation of Mikhail Gorbachev and the final dissolution of the Soviet Union on 25 December 1991, Yeltsin remained in office as the President of the Russian Federation, the USSR's successor state. Yeltsin was reelected in the 1996 election; in the second round he defeated Gennady Zyuganov from the revived Communist Party by a margin of 13%. However, Yeltsin never recovered his early popularity after a series of economic and political crises in Russia in the 1990s.
