The New York Times , Washington Post and Los Angeles Times lead with the continuing political and economic turmoil in Russia, signaled by yesterday's second parliamentary defeat of Boris Yeltsin's candidate for prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin.
Discussing his recent U.S. visit, Chernomyrdin said: "No one in America understands what is going on [in Russia].
The NYT story never mentions the word, although in the nineteenth paragraph of its story, well after the jump, it quotes Chernomyrdin's envisioning the possibility that "someone would want to enter the Kremlin on a white horse."
But give the Times credit for putting forward its own clear suggestion: With Yeltsin's health problems much in evidence of late, Russians were increasingly viewing Chernomyrdin as Yeltsin's imminent successor, and "nothing infuriates Yeltsin more than the suggestion that he has lost any of his political authority."
Yeltsin earlier appeared to have secured a deal to grant the parliament greater powers in exchange for Chernomyrdin's confirmation.
