The leader of the party himself said he was pleased by a number of impressions from his recent trip to the United States. He had two comments concerning the reasons behind the victory of the Republican Party in the recent U.S. elections. One reason was that the average American could not forgive the Clinton administration for supporting Yeltsin's attack on the Supreme Soviet last October. He also said that the key to the victory was that the Republican Party's ideas are so similar -- virtually identical -- to those of the Liberal Democratic Party.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
