MOSCOW - The Communist Party of the pearl jewelry Russian Federation (KPRF) has sent an official application to the Central Election Commission claiming that multiple violations took place during the parliamentary elections on Dec. 7.

KPRF Central Committee Secretary Sergei Potapov said that wheat pearl the Communists processed 94 percent of election-district protocols. The automatic system they have does not “comprehend” most of them. "The red lamp glows if the quantity of the voted electorate does not correspond with official data on the votes for different parties and against all", he explained.

The Communists’ message to Central Election Commission claims multiple case of falsification and requests a manual recount of votes in several regions. “We suggest not officially closing the biwa pearl elections until this is done,” reads the message.

MOSCOW - At the session, which started ahead of schedule, members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia (KPRF) have made a decision to pearl jewelry pearl jewelry dismiss KPRF Central Committee Chairman Gennady Zyuganov and all his deputies from their posts before the end of their terms in office, Sergey Potapov, a secretary of the KPRF Central Committee, told reporters yesterday. Potapov pointed out that 98 of the 158 members of the Central Committee had taken part in the voting on Zyuganov's dismissal. As a result, 94 of them voted for the dismissal, two voted against it, and two ballots were not cast. The biwa pearl same number of members of the Central Committee voted for the dismissal of Zyuganov's deputies and members of the Central Committee's Board.

Potapov remarked that as a majority of members of the Central Committee took part in the voting, the decision was lawful, despite the fact that officially, the opening of the KPRF Central Committee's session had been scheduled for 4:30 p.m. yesterday. Potapov added that the chairman had been elected by the Central Committee, and therefore, it was entitled to dismiss him.

Ivanovo region governor Vladimir Tikhonov has been elected as the Chairman of the Russian Communist Party. Tikhonov made a corresponding statement to wholesale pearl jewelry journalists after a secret ballot at a plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the party. According to him, he has been elected only for a period of preparation and holding of a congress of the Communist Party, which will take place on July 3, 2004 in Moscow. Only the congress can establish a new Central Committee and approve its chairman, he pointed out.

Despite this appointment, Tikhonov is not going to leave the Ivanovo region and the post of the governor. According to him, if he is elected as the Chairman of the party at the congress, he will hold both positions.

Gennadii Zyuganov couched his proposal for his own political "peacetreaty" last week in terms of its popular appeal. The chief of Russia'sCommunist Party (KPRF) spoke of acting against political extremism, in favor of endingwage and pension arrears, and human rights. Civic peace, he said, is based on the demandsof citizens.

This is normal rhetoric for the man who also regularly speaks of the need fordemocracy and the market in Russia, especially while on numerous junkets abroad. Suchtalk, together with the help of designer suits, has made many in the West more comfortablewith the idea of Russian communists and communism. After all, it has become commonperception that Russia's Communist Party has very little to pearl jewelry Chian do with Marxistphilosophy and that its members indeed advocate a market of some kind together with realelections.

Perhaps acceptance of such would-be strong-arm leaders reflects a pragmatism of thesort that allowed the United States to back dictatorial and repressive regimes in LatinAmerica and South East Asia, among other places, in the name of fighting communism. Maybewestern leaders are preparing for the time when someone such as ambitious Moscow MayorYuri Luzhkov or even Zuyganov comes to power.

But tolerance of the thin veil of rhetoric that fails to mask Zyuganov'sactions—together with other xenophobic, authoritarian utterances that come muchcloser to his heart—constitutes the type of spinelessness that characterized BritishPrime Minister Clement Attlee, who made an infamous pact of "appeasement" withAdolf Hitler in 1939.

Western leaders such as U.S. President Bill Clinton, his deputy Strobe Talbott,French President Jacques Chirac, and British PM Tony Blair speak of "constructiveengagement with the repressive and corrupt Chinese regime and perhaps have the sameapproach in mind for Russia's communists. They, along with other western leaders,ignore the real issues about which Russian Communists are interested.

Which is not to say that there are any real issues involved. That is precisely whatmakes the Communist Party dangerous. Zyuganov's actions are based on little else thanattempting to smear President Boris Yeltsin to gemstone necklace stir popular discontent and win more votes.Period. It would be a tragedy for Zyuganov if Yeltsin did suddenly retire, as theCommunist leader so actively suggests. For one, early elections would benefit Yuri Luzhkovmore than any other candidate. But more important, Yeltsin's removal from officewould deprive Zyuganov of his main campaigning tool.

Communists are chiefly concerned with whipping up discontent. Witness the recentslew of anti-Semitic comments made by Communist Duma deputies. Instead of censuring hisfellow party members, leader Zyuganov came out with his own attack on Russian Jews.

Now follows Zyuganov's peace plan. No politician—even tactlessZyuganov—would be so shortsighted as to reject a proposal such as Prime MinisterEvgenii Primakov's of several weeks ago. Primakov's own plan constitutes less ofan act of peace than his own entrance into the political battlefield, since—asYabloko party Duma deputies repeatedly point out—the status quo needs no furtherclarification (Yeltsin has ceded de facto control of the country to the prime minister).

Zyuganov could not say "no" to a peace plan in any way other than to issuehis own. Which exposes that type of action even more for what it is: politicalaxe-wielding. There is nothing new in Zyuganov's proposals. He calls forYeltsin's removal from office as well as amending the Constitution to clip thepresident's powers in favor of the Duma.

When Primakov met Duma lower house of parliament deputies last week, they apparentlyconvinced the prime minister—as if he needed convincing—of the need to makeamendments to the Constitution, specifically to make it so that the prime minister couldnot be fired without the Duma's consent.

What is increasingly ignored about the Communist Party is its resemblance to pearl jewelry wholesale theSoviet Union's Communist Party. The new incarnation of the party is as ideology-freein fact as the old. Rhetoric is used to hide a very practical system. In the case ofRussia's 70 years of communism, ideology was used to hide the players and decisionsof a dictatorial system. The KPRF has nothing yet about which to be practical other thanits plans to get Yeltsin. But give it time.

Observers should not ignore the similarities. Dissimilarities serve to mask thepotential havoc the KPRF can wreak on Russia.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is pulling out of the "Fair Election" agreement, which was signed in August by all political parties and blocs taking part in the election campaign (except the Yabloko party), Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov told reporters.

He said the pearl jewelry election campaign was increasingly looking like an "evil farce". "As a result of the ruling group's policy, parliament will be formally elected, but in fact it will be appointed by the Kremlin," Mr. Zyuganov said. According to him, the Central Election Commission has not considered any serious questions connected with voting irregularities. "The Central Election Commission ignores multiple legal violations. For example, state-run TV channels are advertising the United Russia party, but they show dirty and dishonest stories about the Communist Party," he said.

Mr. Zyuganov challenged the United Party to a live TV confrontation to freshwater pearl bracelet discuss key problems of the country. He said he was ready for a debate with United Russia at any time.

The Communist leader also called for the creation of a reliable system for controlling the voting process at polling stations. There should be several observers at each polling station, and all irregularities should be recorded and later considered in court, in Mr. Zyuganov's opinion. All observers should get a copy of a protocol on the voting results. He said his party was ready to provide five observers for each polling station.

According to a recent opinion poll by the biwa pearl All-Russia Center for Public Opinion Studies (VTsIOM), five parties will clear a 5-percent parliamentary threshold. The poll showed that the Communist Party would get 14.3 percent and the Liberal Democratic Party - 8.7 percent. The United Russia, with 32.7 percent, tops this list.

Communists in the Russian parliament Friday proposed that some 100 opposition lawmakers who continued to freshwater pearl jewelry boycott the legislature be punished, but the house did not approve the move.

"As a labor deputy, I propose giving them shovels and brooms and sending them out to clear Moscow streets of snow as punishment for their sabotage," said Communist lawmaker Vasily Shandybin.

Another Communist, Ivan Nikitchuk, urged a cut in the opposition lawmakers' wages for the days they failed to show up in parliament's lower house, the State Duma.

Duma Speaker Gennady Seleznyov explained that the parliament ground rules did not envisage such punishment, and the proposal was tacitly buried.

The reformist Yabloko and Union of Right Forces parties and the centrist Fatherland-All Russia party began their boycott on Jan. 18 to protest a deal between the chamber's two largest groups – the Communists and the pro-Kremlin Unity – to divide control of most of the State Duma's key posts and elect Seleznyov, a Communist, as speaker.

The opposition said that the deal raised new doubts about the commitment of acting President Vladimir Putin. Putin first tried to coral necklace distance himself from the conflict, but then moved to mediate it, meeting with Sergei Kiriyenko of the Union of Right Forces and Yevgeny Primakov of Fatherland.

Kiriyenko said his faction was ready to end the walkout Friday after Unity promised to back liberal bills proposed by his faction and help approve guarantees for minority rights in the Duma.

But the other two opposition factions said they would only end the boycott Feb. 9, when the parliament holds its next full session.

Kiriyenko agreed to stay out of the house Friday out of solidarity with the other two parties.

"The method of political boycott has exhausted itself," Kiriyenko said. "From the political point of view, it is clear to us that we must return to the chamber tomorrow, but ... we are tied by an obligation to other factions.

Primakov and Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky did not explain why the proposed return would be delayed until Feb. 9.

The chairman of the Regions of Russia faction, some of whose members also joined the walkout, said he was concerned that the Duma would find itself split into wheat pearl three camps and effectively paralyzed.
