Collapse of the Red-Brown Alliance?

[Nathan Newman]

One interesting part of the failed impeachment drive was the rallying by
Zhiranovsky in defense of Yelsin and his calls for Yeltsin to declare the
Communists illegal and disband them.

This seems to be a rather major break in the red-brown opportunistic
alliance that, while always shaky, had defined much of the opposition to
Yeltsin's policies.  Partly, this is obviously a break in ranks due to the
weakness of Yeltsin and falling out as both sides jockey for power, but it
seems quite significant.

Any others with deeper analysis on what's been going on behind the scenes on
this whole impeachment drive and its divisions?
