Yeltsin may bypass Parliament struggle
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — President Boris Yeltsin summoned Russian lawmakers to the Kremlin on Monday, hoping to avert a showdown this week in his power struggle with Parliament.
"The president is not interested in confrontation," Yeltsin's spokesman, Sergei Medvedev, told Russian television. "The president stands for dialogue."
Last week, Parliament touched off Russia's worst political crisis in nearly two years by giving Yeltsin's government a no-confidence vote for its handling of a recent hostage crisis in southern Russia.
The government struck back by daring lawmakers to declare no confidence again, which would allow Yeltsin to dissolve Parliament and call new elections. The vote is scheduled for Saturday.
On Friday, lawmakers balked and killed a Communist Party proposal to begin impeachment proceedings against the president. Instead, they passed a series of near-unanimous votes urging Yeltsin to fire his so-called power ministers — the men in charge of the army and security forces.
Yeltsin suggested he might consider personnel changes at tomorrow's presidential Security Council meeting.
Gaidar was among the first of several lawmakers to be invited to the Kremlin for consultations, Yeltsin's press service said.
"The president will take a number of steps and propose specific measures to liquidate the crisis between the Parliament and the government," his press service said. It said Yeltsin planned to use all existing political mechanisms.
Yesterday, for example, Yeltsin met with Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and Ivan Rybkin, the speaker of Parliament's lower house, the State Duma.
In a speech Thursday, Yeltsin acknowledged mistakes in both the handling of the hostage crisis and the war in Chechnya that set the stage for it.
Chechen gunmen demanding an end to the conflict took approximately 2,000 people hostage in the southern city of Budyonnovsk for nearly a week. More than 120 people died in their surprise attack and subsequent assaults by Russian forces.

Gaidar once was among Yeltsin's strongest supporters but broke with the president because of his decision to send troops to Chechnya in December.
The president met Monday with his former prime minister, Yegor Gaidar, who now heads the largest reformist bloc in Parliament.
