Forty-six-year old Vladimir Putin, it seems, is the man he is finally decided is best equipped to - as Mr Yeltsin sees it - defend democracy.

That will be seen by many, at home and abroad, with some irony. Mr Putin, who graduated in law in 1975, served for 15 years, until 1990, in the First Main Directorate of the KGB - the Soviet intelligance service.

The president's reasoning may be that only someone with the special insights of a security man can effectively control such an unruly country as Russia, and win either respect or grudging co-operation from the disunited but vociferous opposition parties.
