Yeltsin deal?

[James Farmelant]

Over on Stratfor they've been saying that they think Yeltsin was
pushed out by the military and KGB who wanted to put their own
man in the presidency.  Also, they think that the pardon of Yeltsin
might serve as a model for the way the oligarchs might be dealt
with in the near future.  The oligarchs would be required to
return to the state most of the wealth that they had stolen
in turn for a pardon and for being permitted to keep enough
money to remain very comfortable.
