By Masha Gessen As a politician, Chernomyrdin may seem awkward and indecisive, but as a businessman, he is said to be ruthless. It may be tempting to read in Chernomyrdin's appointment a message from Yeltsin to the United States to the effect that Russia is finally willing to behave as though loans were more important than a nationalist foreign policy. The debate over Chernomyrdin's premiership centers on whether his policies of gradual reform helped postpone the breakdown or whether his chronic inaction led to the stagnation that ultimately destroyed the economy. http://slate.msn.com/id/27924   (1308 words)      RUSNET :: Encyclopedia :: C :: Chernomyrdin In 1992 he was brought into the Russian cabinet and President Yeltsin appointed Chernomyrdin to be prime minister in 1992 in what was seen as a concession to those who wanted to go slowly on reform.

Chernomyrdin tried to calm nervousness about the future of Russian reform by asking members of the Gaidar Cabinet to stay on, at least for now, and restating his support for "a market-oriented economy." http://partners.nytimes.com/library/world/europe/121592chernomyrdin-profile.html   (912 words)      RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY Chernomyrdin's fellow former prime minister, Sergei Kirienko, re-entered politics last year as Putin's special envoy to the Volga district, and former Primorye Governor Yevgeny Nazdratenko was recently appointed head of the State Fisheries Committee.
