They say that...

...German Gref and Alexey Kudrin will take up the posts of ministers of economics and finance.
...Mikhail Kasyanov, if elected prime minister, will not be able to control the personnel composition of even his own apparatus, since Dmitry Kozak is planned for the post of head of the government apparatus. Kozak is Vladimir Putin’s man, and through him the president will keep control over all government activities.
...Boris Berezovsky became disillusioned with his protégé, Minister of Fuel and Energy Kalyuzhny, since he showed himself to be a rather inept manager. Therefore, active consultations are now underway with his deputies. Oligarchic groups are trying to “buy” this or that deputy, and then push him to the post of minister.
... the Russian military facilitated negotiations on concluding a multimillion-dollar deal between Belarus and Iraq, as a result of which Saddam Hussein will be able to carry out a radical reconstruction of the entire air defense system.
...Chubais' political influence is rapidly declining. They say Putin has not forgiven his fellow countryman and longtime acquaintance for threatening rolling blackouts throughout the country.
...from the general file of officers in the Main Personnel Directorate of the RF Ministry of Defense, the personal file of Colonel Alexander Savchenko, accused of aiding bandits in the North Caucasus, disappeared. And a few days earlier, documents of Colonel Yuri Budanov, who is accused of murdering a Chechen girl, were also seized from it. Apparently, for the safety of information about the accused colonels, the existing secrecy regime was considered insufficient, making it as inaccessible as possible within the military department itself.
...the governor of the Orenburg region and member of the Agrarian Party Alexey Chernyshev may take the post of Deputy Prime Minister for Agriculture in the new Russian government. According to other sources, the post of “agricultural deputy prime minister” will be retained by Vladimir Shcherbak, who organizes various branches of the agricultural lobby.
...Clinton was advised to take advantage of the experience of Boris Yeltsin, who received from his successor a decree on lifelong immunity. The US President received such advice from members of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, where he came to make a report. New independent prosecutor Robert Ray, who replaced Kenneth Starr, who never succeeded in impeaching Clinton, promised Clinton, as soon as he left the White House, to bring the same charges of perjury and obstruction of justice during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Unlike the current president, the former can be summoned to ordinary criminal court.
